How to Date Me, a Widow

I bring certain things with me to the table that others do not. Please do not call this “baggage” – that is insulting. My husband, my life story, and my heartache are cheapened by that kind of crass terminology. Everyone has a history, a story, some things to be proud of, some things to regret, and some things they bring to the table through no fault or action of their own. I am just like everyone else in this way.
My history is unique, so dating me will be different the dating…

How does one tell if a date has been a disaster? I think mine last night was.
I met this guy about a month ago. We hit it off really well. We talked for a couple hours at the bar the night we met, and our first date went on for hours and hours as well. We started talking on the phone and via text pretty regularly. There was…

Well, I'm ready to start dating again....or for the first time, I guess. Yikes. I've been thinking a lot about how to go about this, whether to blog about it, how much to share online, etc....and I don't know that I'll make the right decisions every step of the way. In fact, I probably won't. I've never gone through this before, so it's silly to think I'll do everything right the first time I try.
For those who don't know, I started dating my husband when we were teenagers -- I… Continue

I hope that i can get to camp widow, im trying so hard to get through this, waiting on the report, replaying everything that has happened in my marriage, the guilt, the regret, realizing now what i had, all the emotions are so overwhelming, the worst is he is no longer here to love and that our daughter no longer has her daddy.

Thank you for your kind words...some days seem completely hopeless, but reading the posts on this site seem to help since everyone seems to be struggling with the same feelings.

- Hi Wendy. You've already made some big life changes and you've come to the right place to help you "rebuild". I'm also in the Widowed in 2010 group. Joining groups is a great way to get connected to others who have similar experiences. Request some friends, try out the chat room, just immerse yourself in this very special place. Check out Camp Widow, too. I look forward to getting acquainted with you here in 'Widville'
