Michelle Moriarty was instantly besotted with Nathan Johnston, who was tall, wore Doc Martens and drove the loudest V8 in town. “Our friendship grew into something more, there was always chemistry between us,” Moriarty said of her teenage sweetheart. “We grew into young adults together.” Amid the fits and starts of youthful romance the pair split in their early 20s, but reunited about a decade later in their home town of Bunbury, south of Perth.
That bond moved her to establish the Grief Connect online support page for young widows. The group - which has more than 500 members - grew beyond Moriarty’s expectations, along with a page for over-55s set up after the death of her father Neville in 2022. Members are far from alone: there were more than a million widowed people across Australia in 2021, 80 per cent of whom were female.
