It will be a year the 29th of my husbands death. I have not dated. But I have become very close to our he lived with us and helped me through everything since my husband passed away. I don't think dating really has crossed my mind.  

I was widowed at 32, and I started dating 3 months after my husband's death and I didn't mean to I wasn't out looking it just kind of happend. Of course everybody around me in our circle of friends and in his family said that was to soon for me to date. There never will be a right time or appropriate time to his family or friends. I'm just letting you know now before your are faced with that. You will know when you are ready and if you're thinking about it then you probably are ready. But it's up to you and only you to decide that! Dating has been great since then, it's very different because you are used to your spouse not someone else. When I started dating it felt like a new life had been breathed into me I felt like a teenager again and I know that sounds crazy but it's true. I absolutely loved and adored my husband. And I will always love and cherish every moment we had together. But he left me to soon and I wasn't willing to curl up and die alone at age 32.
I was 25 when my husband passed. He passed on April 6,2012. I officially started dating my current boyfriend on July 27th 2012 I started dating my current boyfriend. He lets me grieve, gives me space and is even going to support groups with me. I also lost a lot of friends, they thinking it was too soon. I don't live or miss him any less, I just needed to live also.
I lost my husband in 2011 ., I started going out right after ., I guess in a way I was looking to find someone


That was like him., I met a lot of people but no one even compare to who he has., I learn to stop comparing people to him ., I've dated n it feels good to get notice., to feel wanted .. U feel it ., u know when is time to date ., don't worry about people .theyre going to always talk whether u do good or bad ., make sure you're happy

"Kali I’m so so sorry you are going through this. Grief is hard enough, but going through it secretly, all the while having to continue showing up for your kids, is just brutal. Perhaps your friend was careful to hide your conversations behind…"

It was not supposed to be like this

In 2014 I met the most amazing man ever. We were both in our very early 20s and were looking for different things at the time. We ceased communication for roughly 6 months. During which time, he completed basic training and joined the Air Force. By the time we reconnected he was already at his first duty station.. 8 hours away.We decided we wanted to continue our relationship and proceeded to cultivate a deeply emotional connection. Regular calls and video chats, visits while he was home on…See More
