I have been widowed for nearly four years. Previously I have been divorced.It is not the same thing at all.
Yes, I believe that you can date a widow or widower successfully, but you have to understand that they were bereaved, and there wasn’t a choice to it. Sometimes I think that only a widower would really understand as they have been through it themselves.
As others have said , you don’t get over it , you live along side it. I don’t want to forget about my husband , put away the photos and pretend that he didn’t exist. He did, but he has gone and I want to move forward in a new relationship.
We all have a past and it would be a huge warning sign to me if somebody that I wanted to be involved with didn’t share their past.
Life is for living, and by the very nature that we are on this site leads me to believe that most people want to move forward in a positive way.
I wish there was a sight for widows and widowers .....
