WIDOWS AND WIDOWERS

Angel- I didn't have any choices right after my husband's death. I had to move just a few weeks after, and from a 2 story home on the lake to a small 1 bedroom apartment- I was rather limited. I kept my shrank and grandfather clock, and whatnots from everywhere..but tools, and everything else I just couldn't make room for and it went into the auction..it literally ripped my heart out. In less than a month I lost the love of my life- our home, all his belongngs, my wedding rings, his boat..it seemed like everything having to do with him was being torn away. It's been 5 yrs almost now..and I wish I would have had more time to go slower. Carolyn My wife had been sick for about a year, she thought it was Irritable Bowek Syndrome. We moved into a smaller apartment at her request and she used to make statements like "This is a good place for you if something happens to me" etc. It seemed that she made a concerted effort to ensure everything was perfext. She bought new furniture, she asked me to take her places we only talked about before, she made peace with my family which didn't ever seem possible. When she finally was diagnosed with colon cancer, it had already spread, Believe it or not, she had a major operation and chemo and it disappeared and she went back to work for three months. Then we found out it had spread to her liver. This time the chemo didn't work and she had a liver operation. Again the cancer was all gone, but within 10 days, on the night she looked at me and told me she loved me and thanked me for being in her life, she collapsed and I drove her to the hospital. I was there next to her bed in the emergency room and she said "Peter, go home and rest, you have the rest of your life ahead of you. I will be alright." I did and that is the last time I saw her alive. I have felt guilty ever since that I wasn't with her when she died, but I think she wanted me to prepare for the rest of my life knowing hers was ending. |

It has been four years and I still have all of her stuff. I think if I get rid of it part of me will die. That isn't true of course but that is how you feel. We have to realize we were individuals before we met and we still are, but we are better individuals because of that person we loved and we believe left far too early.
Your poetry is really nice, I think you will do OK. You seem like a really nice person. God bless. |

I am a widower. I lost my wife to cancer four (4) years ago. I gather from reading, I am a newbie, but I sure don't feel that way.
How do you really get back into the game? I mean finding someone new? Is it as hard I have experienced or am I just going about it wrong? I'm not a youngster, but I have a lot to give and a lot of years to give. I have a meaningful job, I have family close by and see them often, but there is just something missing. |

Gwen's spirit has come to me a few times, I wouldn't call her a ghost. I am assuming Gwen was your wife? My wife died four years ago and I wish she would visit sometimes but she hasn't. That is what I find most scary, why some people can experience and others can't. You have to wonder what is really out there? |

Lived in a haunted house once. A friendly one. Saw him once and a couple of times he woke us up during the night. I BELIEVE!!!!!!!!! I think I believe as well. But I think you have to be receptive to experience a lot of it. I really believe that a part of our brain is tuned into this but most of us haven't taped into or developed that part of our brain. |

Anyone else like watching it? What do you think? I'm undecided, never had an experience myself.

GIVE ME SOME SUGGESTIONS
|

I live in New Jersey, I'm widowed, and I want to meet a lady close by because I'm not rich, I can't afford and don't want to travel everywhere to meet someone, and it seems that New Jersey is devoid of women.
I know that isn't true, so it must be me. I am me, nothing else. I talk too much, I joke too much and I probably think I am a treasure, but we all know that that is not the truth. Sure I can be picky, but isn't evryone? Give me some clues on how to go about this without appearing desperate or coming across like a dirty old man. |

Going Green

Perhaps this question has been posed previously, but with me being new and all...well: With all of the media focusing on the Going Green campaign....I'm curious to know if anyone is listening and doing things to "go green". I promised the oil companies and the government that the day after they did I was with them 100% |

Hi everyone. This is a fun thing. I asked the Jersey girls to check in and only one did. That means all of you beautiful and classy ladies must be from somewhere else.
If you just want to have a little fun before you leave on that gorgeous vacation with that special someone, just say Hi and where you are from. lol |

My kids just say "what trouble are you causing now dad?? They know I am still as onery as ever & worry about how I will be in 5 yrs. I will never let age get me down. Like Lady Liz, can teach the younger generation a hole lot of lessons. Isn't that how it is done, older teach younger?? That is definitely how its done. If only they would listen. |

I'm here but there aren't many of us! ![]() Deb: 22 people have viewed this (meant to be funny posting) and only you have responded. The only thing I can say is thanks for breaking free from those kidnappers. Now if the other girl would only check in, I'll know both of you are safe. Have a great Memorial Day weekend!!! |

I finally got my divorce, last Friday, and I finally gave someone my phone number, yup me, married for 20 years, divorced for two days, yup I did it. But they never called. hummmmm....so I was having a bad hair day, but they didn't know that....gessh! Don't let it get you down. Be careful in the beginning. Sometimes they are like wild dogs sniffing a fresh meal. You are very good looking and I am sure that is inside as well as outside. Take your time, don't settle. |
