FaithOverFear

At the age of 45 I suddenly became a widow July 2015. I never thought I would want to date, let alone feel I would ever want to find love. But here I am 2 years and 3 months later, I am ready. I am strong in my Christian faith and with a lot of prayer and trust, I have gotten through the endless days and nights of tears, wondering how I would get through another day, and thinking I wanted to be alone forever. I miss loving someone and having someone love me. I did not take this decision lightly. After I thought I was ready to date, I still waited a few months to make sure I was really ready. Now is the hard part. Where do you meet a good guy? I don't want a guy who spends all his time in a bar, so that it out. Honestly, where do you meet people? Now that I know I am ready, I want to find that man who is right for me, I just have no idea where to look.

I am in central PA. An hour North of Harrisburg, 40 minutes West of Lewisburg.

I have never been to a widowbago...just curious if there are any scheduled in PA?

As I am thinking I am ready to step into the world of dating, I have been giving a lot of thought to what that may look like and how I want to handle it. It seems to me that you are taking it at a good speed without jumping too fast into it. I was married 29 years and it took me a while to get to the point where I think I am ready to more in a forward direction. I wish you the best in your journey.

Hello. I am SHerbster. My love of 30 years died suddenly at the age of 47. Going from a smile, a wink and an "I love you" to death before my eyes is just as heartbreaking today as that horrible day. It will be 2 years in July and I am beginning to feel myself going backwards in my grief, rather than continuing forward. I have hopes that this site will encourage me to continue this unwanted journey the best I can.
