Anybody here widowed?...if so, how are you coping? How have you moved on?

Thanks for all the support Mingle2 members !!! ... lmao !!! Must be the only widower here !!!

There are plenty on here I’m sure but perhaps they just don’t want to share their feelings.

No two people will ever experience the death of their spouse in the same way so how one person dealt with their grief may not necessarily be relevant in helping others with theirs.

It also depends on your beliefs.

Just my two cents worth

I've known a man for a Year. He lost his wife last year, after 37 years of marriage.


He's had a very hard time being alone. Yet he's from a large family and has children of his own.


Kind of Sad.

I'm not involved with him.

Men should get Over grief Before getting Involved with a woman

I'm unfortunately also a widow and only 33. Not coping well to be honnest but so very loney I decided to lurk around this site lol. How are you coping?

Looks like he's coping the same way.

This is a dating site, not a support group for people who lost a loved one so kind of silly to whinge people didn't react.

This being a"dating site" is one questionable topic...but the forums are a place to gather others opinions and experiences.

Your right this site is for all to ask questions and see how others deal with situations..

Sorry to hear at your young age you have lost your loved one..

This is not just a dating site and the Forums never have been for dating it is for all to interact with others.. It is also an International Site..

Reason for the e-mail filters use them they will be useful...

There is actually a few in here that have lost their wife/husband.. And sure they would be willing to give some insight..

My sister just lost her husband of 49 years .. It is not easy to go through and those like me that have not been there do not have the answers.. It will get easier but the pain never goes away..

May you find the peace you seek~~

The way you were complaining was none too friendly, hence my response.
And you DID ask for advice on how to cope and then you might be better off on a site for widows/widowers where you'll find only like-minded people who can support and understand it.
Good luck.

i have been a widow for five years. first is was " i am so cheated that she is gone after only a short time of being retired". the kids though i was next, but not yet. yes i am looking for a woman that is close to inverness,(FL) to fill the needs. and i have found a lot of responses that want me to go to to hangout or other site to "communicate". then there are those who are in a different state. way to far for a coffee date. so far i am disappointed with the responses/ SO if any age appropriate women really want to talk to a human. i am still available.

Life changes forever...you never really get back to normal...

that's correct no one will come out openly to tell you how he or she feels it met take them time to be able to move on, but the memory still remains.

agree with you there

You said it all, how are you doing beautiful

I disagree

Yes Rick roll. I have lost two husband's. If you want to talk about it privately message me. Some people don't understand the grief and that is ok.

The truth remains you ability to control yourself when such happens after which you move on with your life yes is very difficult but with some time you will be strong again

Your life with grief goes thru stages.. and it will not be the same for any two people..some seem to move on quickly, some seem to tread water for ever.. No matter what though, that person will always be a part of one's thoughts, and in one's heart. I should add anyone that you choose to date or see should undersand this aspect of you. It is not anything to be jealous of, it is just the existence of a great loss and the deep caring that stays with you indefinetely.

It is so much different then divorce. We tend to idolize people who pass..we forget all the bad times, or rough times, and remember all the good times.. which is really how it shoud be. It is a reminder that life is precious, and short, and a lot of bad things should be let go of..

It is said the best way to honor the dead, is to live one's life to the fullest.. because you know how short life can be.. so treasure each moment..

People who have not gone thru it, may not understand.. and truthfully, I am glad that they haven't had to experience such as yet if they are blessed that way.

After a lovely person passes, remains in every particle of our soul and heart the love, caring, respect ..and it is our treasure...a magnificent gift which we received from God.

Each beautiful moment which we experienced with a loved person will always be part of us.
In our thoughts , beautiful memories and feelings will remain and always bring us what was wonderful and beautiful in our life and what we were able to experience with a loved one.

Life is a magnificent gift and treasure from God and if we experienced this beautiful connection with a loved person, our soul is very unique for God.
Not everyone experiences this beautiful gift of mutual love...

Our loved person which we lose is and will be connected with our soul and heart by a beautiful bond forever.. and will always be our strength..
