Stephanie, I am so sorry that you are now a member of a club that you would never ask to join. Your pain is so raw right now. Please take each day at a time and know that you are important. You need to take care of yourself. Seek out someone who you can take talk to and will listen. The feelings of not wanting to go on and wanting to be with your husband are normal but you need to realize that you need to be here. There is a plan for you in your new life and your new reality. (Next you will say,"I don't want a new life, I want my old one".) We have all been where you are now. Please find someone that you can talk to and if you need us know that all you have to do is reach out and we will be here for you.

agree with Trisha. Feel free to tell people that you have no intention of looking for a man anytime soon. You don't need to be set up with any of their friends, coworkers, neighbors, or cousins. I also think that people say things without thinking. This should not excuse their behavior but makes it easier to deal with the stupid comments when I am playing back, over and over, in my mind. I work in the same field that my husband worked in for over 30 years. I run into people all the time that knew my husband and tell me that someday I will find someone else. At first, I didn't know what to say. Now, having dealt with this for 7 months, I say something like, "Who says I want someone else?" or "What make you think I will ever be looking?" Most people are taken aback by these comments. Most get the point. I am hoping that over time you are able to stand up to the well intentioned stupid people. Take your time. Please post when you feel that you need to, as we are all here to help you. I felt worse 4 months after than I did 2 months after. Take care of yourself and your daughter. Do things at your own pace. You don't owe an explanation to anyone. Ever.
my husband tods passed march 5th 2011, someone through the widow at me first the first time this past weekend, and my stomach dropped out. Im 47, what do I do without him, and how do I face being alone. people ask me questions that i just can't wrap my head around, about rings, and dating and expectations...my only expectation is to get up and go through the motions of living,,,anything else hssn't been considered
