Dear Lydia, thank you for providing this platform for widows. I look forward to hearing you. It has be 4 1/2 years for me. I thought I was doing well, until the 4 year came around and it feels like I have only just begun to grieve. I had 3 children still living at home when my husband passed and I had to be strong for them. But now my youngest is a high schooler and doesn’t me as much. I find that the loneliness and sense of purpose in my life is glaring in me in the face. I don’t want to have another relationship to soothe this pain; I want to live my life and enjoy who I am… I hope to find other widows in the same place as I am. I am in my mid-50s. God bless you for sharing with us.

@Wookinpanub235 3 ай бұрын
Yeah its tough. I’m a 53 y/o man. Lost my wife to cancer 2 months ago. Lots of red tape makes the grieving process all the worse and forces you to be in full survival mode. I’ve also been trying to have as much social life as possible. Just going to the store alone at first was a weird feeling. Ive done it a million times but at first it was like I was trying to walk for the first time again, lost like a magnet that lost its other half. Sooooo…..Im just trying to make the most of it in social settings and being receptive to looks from the ladies for the first time since I started dating my Wife when we were in high school. I’m staying busy, keeping my health and body a top priority and hoping the right lady might come along. This would make my wife happy because she kept insisting I remarry. She was worried for me and was always think ten steps ahead. I think staying busy and having as much social interaction is the best way to handle rediscovering yourself after losing your soul mate…it is hard bit the more you do it the easier it gets and the more you’re receptive to smiles, comments and glances from the opposite sex. Its a good feeling to get smiles from the ladies and Ive been taking really good care of my body and eating better. Even with all the crazy red tape Im still finding time to heal myself and the best healing for me has been the looks I get from the ladies and it has done a-lot for my confidence and helps me all around in my outlook on life and keeps me from being stuck in a dark place. I have to a wedding soon. My Wifes coworker’s Daughter is getting married. Im like and Uncle to this girl and she loves me to death. She texts me often and my wife was her biggest hero and she misses her alot. All of my wife’s co workers, all females will be there. I know its going to be really weird seeing them all again because I havent seen them since my wife’s memorial service and I know they’re all going to be awkwardly looking at me to see how Im doing and Im hoping none of them make any comments about my wife at all because I dont want to Lose my shit in front of them all…again. They saw me do it in the hospital with my wife and at her memorial service and all its gonna take is one of these ladies walking up to me with her eyes welling up with tears and that will be it for me. I know the bride is gonna cry as soon as she sees me. Its almost like I dont want to go because I know what will happen bit I cant miss it for the world because the bride has been texting me every week reminding me to come. My Daughter is coming with me for moral support. This is gojng to be tough but I figure if I got through my wifes memorial service I’ll het through this. I just don’t think Ill be staying for the reception, I’m gonna duck out to avoid people feeling awkward around me and me around them.

My wife of 20 years unexpectedly passed in her sleep almost 3 months ago on 1/5/24. We have a 14 year old semi verbal autistic son that needs 24/7 supervision. Throwing myself into full time parent mode has helped me get through the initial crippling pain of loss but I know it's not a viable long term solution. My closest relatives are 1100 miles away. My two closest buddies moved out of the area over the last year. So I'm definitely isolated socially, my only real in person interactions are with the staff at my son's school. Relocating to be closer to relatives (very small family) may give me a little social interaction and an emergency backup for temporarily watching my son in case something happens to me but I'll still be on 24/7 Dad duty. I'm trying to see a way to avoid the long term cronic issue but I don't see it yet. I'm getting past the initial FUBAR phase hoping to get into SNAFU sometime soon but I'm worried for the long term.

My life became so empty and desolate after my husband died. He was my very best friend. We had been through so much during our almost 40 years as a couple, and we had cried and laughed together so many times. We had shared each other‘s experiences and we gave each other encouragement. I know how he would’ve thought about many difficult issues and how he would’ve acted in various situations. I still think what would he have done now I still miss him terribly- he died 9 years ago- but I feel him with me all the time. I even ask him for advice. I carry our life together inside me. Our thoughts, our fun, our troubles. These are all treasures no one can ever take from me.

3 years and 3 months for me now. And I have been feeling my future has no hope anymore. I am 57 but was 53 when I lost my husband after a long ill ess. My daughters are grown and have thier own lives. I work full time, still have no money left-over after barely making e ds meet, and he lost his life insurance because we couldnt afford it on just my check while waiting for SSDI to kick in. I had to make choices at the time and his prescriptions were more important. And once the SSDI started coming, the rates for his life insurance were outrageous. I am not the most attractive person, and lost many friends while being my husbands caretaker. I honestly belueve I am in the chronic stage of lonliness now but I dont want to be. I feel like there is no hope for me. I have tried widow /widowers groups. They are a joke. The other woman are catty towards each other if you so much as speak to the widows in the group. Certainly not friendship material which is all I was hoping to find. My church is super small , so really no hope there. So I have no money, and not many friends, and the ones who are , are married and busy with thier spouses and make excuses not to include me in thier social events. I have to work alot to support myself. What do I do and how can I help myself get out of feeling as I have been lately. I am to the point of giving up even trying to live a life worth living because I just feel I am hinderednin so many ways no matter ehat.

I hope you have a. Strong faith in God’s love and goodness. IT was kept me strong and believing that there is some eternal purpose for our losses and pain. The love you shared is real and will keep giving to you if you will allow it. Seek to embrace this new place as it has gifts to give your soul, too. This is a path no one really chooses for themselves. There are many of us here, though. Cry when you need to, wipe your tears away and get up and do something good for yourself, be patient, be strong… and never let go of the love you shared. Love is eternal. God is love and He will always be with you to show you the way. God bless and keep you in this time of sorrow and pain.

Yes we must focus on what we still have not what er have lost. Gratitude! It’s so hard to understand how the deaths of those we deeply love affect us. Lost my beloved husband 9+ years ago. He was my steadfast, trusted partner in all things. When I had him, a hard day at work or some sort of disappointment didn’t really matter that much because I had HIM. He was my rock. He gave my life a meaning I did not know was possible. I had a 30 year teaching career but I always felt that my greatest accomplishment was my relationship with my husband. Have a grateful day!

That is a challenge. But not unreachable. Best of luck!
