Widowed in 2011

Brian - that is strange, but it would seem it is just a claim and I wouldn't put any stock into rumors. The only weird stuff I've had is foreign guys wanting to friend me on FB saying they are widows too, I don't know how they find us, do a search for widows? Weird!

I have been away for a while. Life has been quite busy but I felt the need to return. Has anybody had the experience since their spouse died of the wierdos coming out of the woodwork? I had an old high school friend of my wife contract me through Facebook, she had just learned of Torrey's death. As we spoke she mentioned that she found out about her passing from an old classmate that claims he had been married to Torrey right out of high school in the late 70's for a short time.  I have never heard about this. I am sure I would have and nobody in her family knows anything about this and a quick records search shows no such marriage but it is still very strange. There is more to the story which I don't want to bore you with but has anybody ever had to deal with something strange like this?

Suddenlyalone:  My 1 year is Nov. 5th and our anniversary is Nov. 6th. I definitely want to be doing something those days. Even if it's just going out of town a few hours away with my son. 

alliot123:  I am 47 as well, was widowed at 46. I too think I"m too young, but my heart breaks for all, younger and older. I'm sorry you are struggling this week. HUGS

HUGS to all struggling. I'm glad we have here for the support.

Letha, 

Sorry to hear about your back - but positive news about the insurance.  Cant wait to hear when you tell us that you received a check.

Running late for work - but wanted to check in with you and hope you feel better.

Our anniversary is Saturday it would have been our 28th an it would have been Wayne's 57th birthday. Only the 2nd anniversary without him. I just want to stay in bed all week. I just can't believe I'm a widow at 47! Really struggling this week

Hi everyone, I have been peeping in every now and then. I have been apartment hunting these last two weeks. After catching up on all the posts, I was thinking on what to do on my 1st anniversary that my husband died and decided that I'm going to plan a trip for my son and I. Sylvester died the week of thanksgiving and I don't think I will be able to celebrate the holidays with family. Hello to all newcomers and sorry for your loss

mem5711 Not sure what I can add to this but last September I went to my best friends wedding. She was actually married a year earlier but put off the event since her husband was dx with throat cancer. He is doing well and they had a huge wedding last Sept a month after Donna died. Donna and were going to go and Donna bought a lovely dress and shoes etc. Which I just donated to CancerCare.org 

It was hard going but Kim let me be the train fairy and I got to hold her train and move it so she wouldn't step on it. Took my mind off of Donna not being there to make fun of those who may have been poorly dressed. It's not easy and there is no secret to getting through that first event other then just live in the moment and memories and the joy. You'll be okay not great but okay.

Okay.....Friday night I'll be going to my youngest son's best friend's wedding. They were groomsmen for each other and have been best buds since childhood. It should be a happy occasion, but I can't seem to stop crying. It will be the first time I've gone to a special occasion without Andre' and I'm dreading it. I'm used to doing the little things without him....but on these special occasions are the toughest. My daughter-in-law has been great....said she'll never let go of my hand. I just hope I can hold it together:(((

I got some pills from the doctor to help relax the muscles in my back. Unfortunately they seem to relax ALL of me and I seem to fall asleep every time I get too comfortable on the couch. Guess it doesn't matter..I can't do much of anything anyway until this heals. Even had to ask one of the guys who was putting in my new fence today if he would be nice and carry all my recycling bags to the curb. I knew they were too heavy for me to carry out there with my back hurting. He also dumped the new 33 lb. bag of dog food into it's storage bin for me. I sure will be glad when this is all healed. I'm bored not being able to work outside!
