How it Feels Now That I'm a Widow

Thank you for your openness in sharing this. My husband died in a car accident when I was 58. We had an incredible marriage. It's been almost 3 years and I feel so stuck. I understand what you mean about feeling like you just don't have anyone to love you. It's good to hear someone else talk about what's going on in their life. I hope you do well with your channel.

Oh Alyce, I'm so very sorry you have had to go through such a terrible time. That's why I started this channel, we are all grieving, in so many different ways. I hope to help us all as we get through this journey together. God comfort your hurting heart.

Alyce it’s been 3 years for me and we were together 38 years. When I look back on his passing I can’t remember a lot of specifics. I honestly got lost there for awhile. My cousin who’s like a sister has been a life line. Prayer and meditation has helped me. I’m sending you healing energy. 🙏🏼♥️

[@rebeccagutierrez1960]

I became a widow 3 years ago. My husband's death was not a surprise. As he had been sick, really sick 14 years prior. So I felt that when he did pass it was just extended time given to both of us. He was 70 years old. Prior to passing he gave me some instructions. He left all his things in order. One of the things he told me was to travel and to remarry. I told him, "honey, I'll travel but I'll never remarry." We both started laughing. 10 months after he passed I went on a Mediterranean cruise and took my sister along with me. We traveled to Italy, (the Amalfi Coast is breath takingly beautiful), Turkey, Greece, the island of Cyprus, and Israel. I had a time of my life. I realized that life goes on and that death is just a part of life. I am grateful that I lived a good marriage for 32 years with him. I started my online business. I help to care for my 95 year old mother here in Puerto Rico. I'd like to move abroad to Europe. One can't swallow in grief forever, one has to move on. I pray that all the women reading this will know that God is our strength and our provider.

79?? no way! I would have said 59! I can relate to being a widow, my husband died in 2017. I mourned for two years thinking when will this pain stop, then God woke me up. God reminded me of the bad things my husband had done to me in my life. That alone helped me to get over it quickly and the pain left. I wished I had left him years earlier. I love being alone now. I feel freeeeee! I don't feel the need to be loved. I learned to like myself and enjoy my own company and my dog's. I'm praying for your pain to pass quickly. At age 77, post mild heart attack, a man would be too much work for me right now unless he helped. You are a kind lady, I wish the best to you. 💗

[@Sandrabrownhappinesspast60]

Daisy, 59?! Wow! Thank you! totally understand your comment, that is what helped me also.

[@frankiegarcia3631]

This is so true, there is no need to ever feeling lonely or sad and not loved. If you know Jesus Christ as your saviour! God loves us like none other, lean into God read his word he is everything to us. Read Psalms from chapter one all the way through, it is God talking through king David. David reached out to God and trusted God more than anyone and God was always with him and he was a king. Talk to God and praise him for everything, he will hear you and answer you. Nothing is too big or little for God, he will always be there for you!

You made me cry, when you read that scripture. God gave me that scripture about 2 months after my husband passed, I was on the floor almost in a fetal position, crying my heart out and I told God, my heart hurts so bad and I felt the Holy Spirit speak to my spirit and he said, “You know I came to heal the broken hearted”, I replied “yes I know that. I said will you please heal my broken heart?” Suddenly I felt as if he poured oil throughout my chest upon my heart and I have not grieved like that since🙏Praise God. I’m just now 4 months out from his death. We were married 47 years. My only son passed awake 3 1/2 years before my husband, so I was definitely familiar with grief. I was so happy to hear you say you started dating 3 months out or looking. I have been talking to a man that was a friend of mine and my husband for several years. He has been a widower for almost 4 years and never dated. Im am supposed to have dinner with him this week and although I’ve known him for a while, it feels so strange and almost wrong to be happy or excited about it. Good luck on your journey. Thanks for your encouragement and for sharing Gods Word. God bless!

[@Sandrabrownhappinesspast60]

Gwen, I’m so very sorry about the loss of your husband. God has opened a door for you for a companion that will help you through your grief. Remember, till death do you part. This is a new chapter in your life, no guilt!💕

[@Rain-yh9ws]

My husband suffered from a heat stroke & during his final hours I had to remove his life support. It was absolutely heartbreaking & bc of this trauma in my life I never remarried. I had no life insurance & was forced into bankruptcy losing everything including my home. The journey of sorrow taught me many things about being humble & learning how to be strong & independent. Today I have recovered all the " things" I lost but my heart has never healed & i understand how important it is to laugh often bc i never know that the next minute I will be brought back down to my knees. Sorrow must be listened too if we are to learn & become transformed.

Hi Sandra, you just appeared on my KZbin as I’m getting myself ready for bed. I’m sorry for your loss and what you went through. My husband passed away suddenly 3 years ago at 58 of a heart attack. I’m about to turn 58 myself now in a couple days. It’s been rough but I’m moving forward as I know he’s want me to. I still cry but not like I used to. I miss him so much, but I’ve told many many people the only way I’ve survived this is through my faith. My morning ritual of prayer and reading and writing has helped tremendously and has given me so much strength. Also gratitude… as horrible as it was I’m grateful for 30 years together and my 3 sons.

We grew apart on many levels. I have forgiven him for his thoughtlessness. Thank you for sharing, living alone is good because I don't have patience for a lot.

Dear Sandra, I am so happy I came across your KZbin this evening. I was widowed in January 2020 and I before that I was married for 36 years and divorced. I can relate to everything you said and I know I’m not ready to get out on any dating websites or be with a man I’m really embracing getting to know myself and love myself again. I’m 74. I have a fear of abandonment and that has been rearing its ugly head lately for me. I’m sick with Covid right now and between being divorced and widowed I can see all the things that get triggered in me when I feel that emotion. So I’m meditating and I’m looking for self-help things to walk me through this part of my life. I’m not ready to pack it in yet. I do have a good church and good friends.

Hi Sandra.....wow I connected with the things you had to say about being a widow. My husband Marty died in Feb 2021....we were together 50 years. And because I was unable to afford staying in my home, I sold it in December and now live with my daughter, which will be really good for us both. She has her own home with a big fenced in yard and a large deck. It’s been a LOT to get used to, but I'm getting there. She works lots of hours and so I'm home alone, which has helped me get in my own flow each day. I never pictured my life as it is now and I've had to have a few serious talks with myself because I couldn't find happiness. Happiness was always so important to me and so, with a little help from my KZbin community of wise women, and my relationship with God, I am seeing this life through a different perspective. I've come to see my life as a precious thing given by God, and it's important to treat it with care because it is this precious thing. I wish you success in your KZbin channel, and to know that your words reach out to us who connect with you and bring hope, help, and more.

I just came upon your channel and I love that you are a christian. I lost my husband of 30 years to suicide. He was suffering from depression, and the covid and all the craziness, just finished him off. He died 16 months ago, and it's still hard for me. I miss him so much, and although lonely, can't even imagine being with anyone else. He wasn't replaceable. I am 73 and don't really know what to do from here. I can relate to what you said about the feeling of no one loving you anymore. Our marriage had its ups and downs, but we loved each other and were always together. Hard to get used to doing things alone now. I could never have children, and don't have family. Thank the Lord I do have Jesus. That is what gets me through. It is hard with just one SS check, as you know, but figuring things out and changing some things around is helping. With God's help, I know it will get better. I enjoyed listening to you and have subscribed to your channel. So I will see you again.

The past two years I haven't been exactly the grieving widow but I have thought of him quite a lot, reflected, felt sorrow and regret, even love. It turns out that he thought of me and looked beyond himself to make sure I was taken care of. Totally unexpected. It's all quite surreal. I too am alone and have become too accustomed to it.

I often feel stupid because I still can't believe he's gone, can't believe he got sick, though I had a front row seat to the whole tragedy. I miss the little jokes and laughter we shared.

Hi Sandra. I came aross your Channel this morning. I was feeling down. I am a widow also. Firstly, I wish to say I am sorry for your loss. My husband was a lot like yours in the sense he could fix anything. Good for you in doing this You Tube and moving forward. I was married at 19, and met my husband at 16. We were together 46 years. I truly connect with what you said about "someone to love you." It is hard missing that emotional and physical security you have with the man you love. I discovered the best thing to do after your husband passes to to "keep busy." Nothing is a "fix" but getting up each day was a struggle and being busy helped my mind and spirit. It does take time. My heart goes out to you. Hang in there. Love,, Angie

Eddie died very suddenly and unexpectedly of complications from undiagnosed sleep apnea and a critical Vitamin B-12 deficiency (due to an absorption problem caused by a prescription diabetes medication). He was only 61 years old. Our retirement plans vanished in an instant. He was truly my soul mate and better half. No one else will ever measure up to him. p.s. I got back into church after my husband’s death as well. Be careful, dating sites are hunting grounds for narcissists.

My husband passed over 5 years ago. I can't believe Oct 1 will be 6 years already. I was 66 and my husband was 67. He died from ALS (Lou Gehrigs) and was only diagnosed 6 months before he passed. We started dating the summer before my Senior year in High School. He had already graduated and was working for a construction company. He was my best friend and I miss him to this day. After he passed I felt cheated. We're Christians but I envied my twin sister and my BFF because they still had their healthy husbands. My sister kept telling me "I'm stronger than I feel". She was right because I had to go on and show my 4 married children and 9 grandchildren that I will be okay. I have this song posted in my craft room called "I Am Not Alone". Yes God has been with me through it all and still is and helps me everyday and I am so thankful He is in my life. I meet once a month with other widows from my church for lunch. I am also involved in a Card Club once a month where we each take turns showing how to make a greeting card. My hobbies are making cards, putting scrapbooks together for my grandchildren and just spending time with my family. Yes life does go on and as long as we are alive God has a purpose for each one of us. You have a great attitude Sandra so I know you will be okay. I'm not sure I'll marry again but yes it would be nice just to find someone to do things with... so far that has not happened for me and that's okay cause I'm loving life again. God Bless you!

The last thing he said to me was “I love you. God first. You taught me that. You told me that.” The next day I signed for hospice and he only lived 1 hour 37 minutes.

During the first months of me being a widow I was literally bombarded with scammers. But I've become a pro at avoiding them.

[@VintageLPs]

I lost my husband (together 45 and married 38 years) two weeks before the COVID lockdown in March, 2020 so I was alone for 18 months, my son was alone working at a newly-purchased home in St. Louis and my daughter-in-law and little granddaughter were trapped in Germany before they could get out (no travel) to move to St. Louis. I think I was so worried about the three of them and so busy trying to figure out my husband’s computer and TurboTax that I just worked through everything like a robot. I never hired an accountant nor an attorney and I spent 3 months on the telephone ironing out social security, Veteran’s benefits, car insurance, medical insurance and a million other details. Scammers never get near me because I never answer the phone before looking at caller i.d., I don’t use a cell phone except a Tracfone for car emergencies and my answering machine defeats scammers. I’m going to be 75 and my husband was 15 years older than I. This time of the year is the hardest due to Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, his birthday, my birthday and our anniversary all in two months. I find it extremely hard to visit his grave but I take care to cut back the grass, leave artificial flowers 💐 and tell him about my week. He was the love of my life since I was 29 years old and I have no desire to date or remarry. I have a huge house and a steep double lot to care for so that keeps me occupied plus all my hobbies and good friends. Best wishes to all of you. GREAT vlog!!

It is a real problem and very little can be done beyond educating the grieving. Even education is hard to hear when you miss your spouse, adult children are grown and do not live in the area, and the surviving spouse is so lonely.

It was very fast. 11 years prior he was very sick all those years with other health issues and needed my care and hands on help. I have no children or siblings. I understood much of all your feelings about being alone. Thanks for your comfort and the passages helped too. May God bless you. I tried the subscriber button, but it wouldn’t work. I would love to subscribe. Much luck to you!

Hello Michelle you're so kind how are you doing?

[@debbiebridwell3089]

You came across my feed and I decided to listen to your message. I was quickly drawn in. You are so genuine and easy to listen to. I'm not a widower, but I've been divorced for several years. You are such a beautiful lady and I look forward to your future videos.

Hang in there Sandra and thanks for sharing. I know what you are going through and I'm not even a widower as yet. I do know firsthand the grief when you lose a loved one having lost both parents while I was very young exacerbated by my wife's loss of her father a few years back. Me, I'm also a senior citizen who was healthy as a horse until just recently when I had my most recent surgery ....brain surgery! I've now been "cut open" a total of 4 times and realize my health has eroded and time draws near when I may not be around to age gracefully with my wife. When that time does come, I have no regrets simply because my expiration date has come and gone having outlived both my parents when they passed away way too young. Hope to view more of your youtube videos simply because yours is a true journal of life. No words of wisdom from me however I find that siblings along with sons help immensely when pressed for assistance .....YMMV (your mileage may vary!) BTW, I currently 72 and know the fear of running out of money since both of us are no longer actively employed. I've been retired since 2011 when I was forced out of work due to the 2008 financial debacle. Thanks to my wife's very frugality managing our expenses we live quite nicely since there are no more expenses for new clothing, care fare, business lunches, etc. These last 2 years have been terrible for everyone and I suspect they will nOT get better at least for the next few years ..... a war currently underway, rampant inflation, a pandemic which will never be eradicated, the list goes on and on. I don't wish to ramble on but rest assured I value your videos. God speed Sandra!

I came upon your channel accidentally and found you are in the same circumstances as me. I too am a Christian and my husband died suddenly of a massive heart attack in July 2019. We were married 53 years, never had any health issues, I miss him and think of him daily.

[@pietrinabravata3474]

I'm sorry for your loss. Thank you for sharing. Please keep your wonderful videos coming!

[@ruthhermiz9421]

Your energy, inner joy and positivity inspires me soo much. I thought you were 30 years younger 🤩wow you look amazing!

Hi, Sandy, I am sorry for your loss. Yes, we all grieve differently and MUST grieve. I am a 73-year-old single woman, never married, live alone with my cat, Tommy. I love people, have loving friends and family members. I am a born-again Christian, since I was 54. Before I was saved, I used to feel very lonely. I would go to restaurants, museums, movies alone mostly, but sometimes with friends. When I received Jesus as my Messiah, I noticed that I stopped feeling alone, because I know He is always with me holding my hand, protecting me and I have nothing to fear. Now, I have many church sisters that I see often for lunch or Birthdays and other functions. Stay connected with your church family. Share your love with them. It will be returned. You are not alone. Much love, Mary
