soloact Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 Nuggets, at 75 John would just be getting his second wind. So sorry he is not here with you. Thank you for remembering Lini. She was a good and kind friend to so many of us. Why am I still here? Simple. My husband is still dead. Wish it was different for all of us. It's always good to *see* you. Be well. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funny ~ I was chided a couple months ago that I had 'been a widow a long time, now' - and yup, I replied I would be a widow as long as John was dead. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guaruj Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 I am here because, after losing Catherine 4 years ago, I still think about her at least once during every waking hour. I'm not complaining about that; it's just a fact. This is the one of the very few places I can go to talk about it. I've been away from these boards for many months. I'm glad to see so many familiar names are still here. |+| M a r k |+| 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beanless Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 Hello! I am newly widowed. Husband was 51 and I am 47. We'd only been married 4 1/2 years and still in sort of a honeymoon phase. We both had grown children and I waited a VERY long time to remarry and was very excited for our future. I echo the "no one gets it" and how much this site (by reading current and past posts) has validated what I think and what I feel. Those that have been widowed longer, thank you for still posting and letting me know that it does eventually hurt less. Dawn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyanAmysMom Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 I am on this board because........... this journey is so lonely, so isolating.... And I feel a community here. I find hope here. I am here because David was worth remembering. I am here because I can't do this alone. I am here because I learn from others' experiences. And I am grateful for YOU!

CJF Posted January 19, 2019 Share Posted January 19, 2019 I am here because some days, even after 8 years, I feel like this is the only place in my life that I know people can relate and not judge me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulZ Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 I am here because I can learn from those that were through this before me. I want to know how to be the best solo dad I can be to my daughter, how to move my life forward as best I can. I hope what I have been through the past 2.5 years can help others in earlier stages in need of help and experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sudnlysngl Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 We are here because "WE ARE WIDOWED"! , and thankfully found others who get what we are feeling at our young ages with trials and tribulations that we are handed with it... Thank you everyone for being brave enough to share with me and all of us, much love to all of you ❤️ 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alemja Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 I found the ywbb about 3 weeks after I lost my dh in June 2013. I was 33 with a 5 and 7 year old, I was the only young widow I knew and it was indescribably lonely. The forum was a lifeline for me, empathy meant everything and knowing that I wasn't going crazy saved me on the hardest days. My sons best friend lost his mom in January this year after a freak accident in December, I'm so very sad for her husband and children and I came back to check that the site is still running so I can direct her husband here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melissa brown Posted April 2, 2019 Share Posted April 2, 2019 I just found this and I am so glad I did. It's only been 12 days since I lost my husband. But reading these amazing stories and knowing I'm not alone is a huge help. Thank you to you all for helping me during this time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
