Robin - Where do you think about starting - online, networking groups, friends?

I have been thinking about dating. Praying to have peace about it! My daughter is open to it, we talk a lot, she actually has asked me if I am going to date. I don't even know where to start! Never thought I would have to worry about dating at my age!

HI Robin and Welcome!  How are you feeling about approaching dating - is it something that you think may become a priority now that your daughter is entering her teens?

I am new to this site. It will be 5 years on June 8th since my husbands passing. My husband Gary had pancreatic cancer and died 16 days after diagnosis.
I went to grade school with Gary, we shared a lot of history.
My daughter turned 10 two days after he died. She has been such a blessing, great kid, sweet and compassionate. She has kept me moving forward.
I still go to therapy, trying to be as healthy as I can through this journey.
I have not dated yet. Hasn't been a priority up to this point. Open to the idea just not desperate!


I have not dated yet.

Just checking in.  It will be 5 years in October, so close to you Eloease.  I just got remarried - such conflicting emotions with moving forward.

While I am sorry others feel the same way as I, it's also a relief to know I'm not alone. It will be 5 years in Sept since my husband died...most days are ok now, but the grief is always simmering down deep...still. It impacts every area of my life. I'm trying to move forward but honestly I still don't know what that looks like. Life has moved forward for everyone else in my life. In some ways, it has for me too...but mostly I feel like I'm still stuck.

We all feel similar here. You are not alone.

Five years and still I am lost. He was my "home". I exist, I volunteer, I try. All our friends are gone. Must have been his friends. I put in my time and I really do try to find some peace of mind. I am sorry to know it isn't just me, but somehow it helps me feel like maybe I am not a failure. I wish us all some peace of mind.

This was the first Easter I did not cry. Lately I feel numb at times. Is anyone here from LI?

Can we keep this going, guys? I'm 57, and the first, and still the only, widow in my group of childhood friends. They don't get it. I mean, they're loving, and want to help, but I'm at the point where I can't even describe what I'm feeling right now. I mean, 5 years, right? (I'm being sarcastic). My brother called me months ago, and asked, what's wrong? I said "my husband's dead". That was a real conversation killer, no pun intended. I'm middle aged, and I don't know what the hell to do with myself. And I try, and sometimes I succeed, but damn.
