Reconstruct Life Together
SoloSpouse trades sympathy for guidance. We are the life reconstruction platform built specifically for widowed women — for the identity, the finances, the home, and the community. Wherever you are in your reconstruction season, there is a place here for you.
Come In!
Three Pillars of Life Reconstruction
Rebuilding after loss isn’t just about surviving. It’s about reclaiming who you are and designing a life that’s entirely yours. SoloSpouse supports your whole self through three essential pillars.
YOUR RECONSTRUCTION Starts Here
Five years. Every stage of your reconstruction season.
- Months 1-12: NAVIGATE – Immediate support and personalized guidance when everything feels overwhelming.
- Years 1-2: BUILD – Establishing new routines, financial confidence, and a home that works for you.
- Years 3-5: THRIVE – Purposeful growth and a life designed entirely on your terms.
You’re here Because…
- You’re ready to stop surviving and start rebuilding.
- In your time.
- On your path.

Kelly~Our Founder
On September 18, 2015, Kelly’s world changed forever. But rather than just surviving that loss, she discovered something powerful: our most traumatic losses can create spectacular growth and strength.
As a top-performing biotech sales leader with 25+ years of industry experience, Kelly understood systems and processes. But navigating hundreds of tasks, arrangements, and accounts during her deepest grief showed her that widows needed more than just checklists—they needed a comprehensive platform that honored both the emotional journey and the practical realities of rebuilding life.
SoloSpouse isn’t just born from loss—it’s built from the expertise of someone who transformed her greatest loss into strategic empowerment. We’ve been there, and now we’re here to guide you forward.

Our Co-Founder, Clair
Clair brings the perfect combination of strategic vision and operational excellence to SoloSpouse. As a marketing and business development expert with a proven track record of bringing breakthrough technologies to market—including NASA-funded innovations—she knows how to transform complex solutions into accessible, life-changing platforms.
Clair’s commitment to SoloSpouse runs deeper than professional expertise. After losing her sixteen-year-old niece, she channeled her grief into purpose by helping create a thriving nonprofit dedicated to teen mental health.
As Kelly’s childhood friend and now business partner, Clair brings both the operational expertise to scale SoloSpouse’s mission and the personal understanding of how transformation really happens—not through sympathy, but through strategic action and genuine support.

What Rebuilding Looks Like
see what’s possible
When my life shattered after losing my husband of 51 years, SoloSpouse helped me put the pieces back together. From financial advice to home repairs to social security — every topic I now face alone, I've found guidance here. Knowing there's a community that truly understands what I'm going through is priceless.
Adele, Fellow SoloSpouse
I love this pathway and wish something so comprehensive had existed when I suddenly became a SoloSpouse. The practical modules, the community, the lived experience behind every piece of it — this will help so many people.
Karen, Fellow SoloSpouse
SoloSpouse has been an incredible lifeline during the most challenging period of my life. What sets it apart is the genuine empathy and understanding — every voice is heard, every concern is addressed. I am deeply grateful for the community and resources that have been instrumental in my healing journey.
Wendy, Fellow SoloSpouse
It has been 1,062 days since losing my life partner and I'm still navigating. It's nice to know there is a good community available for us. Thank you for the work you do.
Fellow SoloSpouse
"I just need direction after losing my best friend of 47 years. I can spend all day going over everything that needs to be done and be completely exhausted without touching a single thing. SoloSpouse finally gave me a place to start.
Fellow SoloSpouse
When one loses someone, usually no one thinks of the practicalities involved. And if they do, they don't have the sensitivity to deal with it. SoloSpouse does both.

She Is the Sun
She arrived here carrying everything. She leaves knowing exactly what she’s capable of. That’s the SoloSpouse promise. Not sympathy. Not survival. Life reconstruction, on her terms, for the full season ahead.
