You're young! I'm 45 and I'm damn young!

What is the age range of a young widow? I am 44. Does that simply make me a middle aged widow? It sure seems strange to be the youngest female in my family and to be the first to be widowed (my father died last year but my parents were divorced 30 years ago....).  It seems like such a limbo land.

My father died a year ago this week. My husband died 9 weeks ago. Boy, I miss them both so much. Such an ache inside.

Hi whatnow, 

I am not sure about that but you might want to consider going into the chat room and asking around...I have talked with several people that are in the California area. They might know.

The other option I would suggest that has been helpful to me here in Florida is going to meet-up.com and search for groups in your area.  I happen to find one here that was established and it has been helpful.

Good Luck.

Are there any groups that meet up for lunch or coffee in the Los Angeles area?  I have been told that some widows get together to do this and would like to join. It would be nice to meet up with others going through the same thing. I am on 3 months and want to get away from it all at times and my friends are great it is just different.

I like to think that most people want to do the right thing. I could be wrong. I did have one friend of my husbands tell me, basically, not to contact him after Bradley died. That was a low blow. But later I realized what a jerk he'd always been. Death certainly brings that sort of thing out.

I struggled with the same thing. Everyone seemed to disappear but if I ask them for help, they will help. People tell me they just don't know what to say.

Janch02,

You bring up an excellent point and one I agree with wholeheartedly; ask. People really do want to help--more often than not (or at least I'd like to think so) but they just don't know what to say or offer.
