I never thought that I would be a widow in my forties. My friends can't relate and feel the need to comment on everything, even if they have no experience with grief. I know they mean well but only we know what we are going though.

I'm new to forums and discussion boards as a way to connect. Please forgive any redundancy in my hopes of reaching out.
I'm looking to get some perspective from this community on a tough but not uncommon topic.
After the death of a loved one, a spouse is often drawn to the sibling or best friend of the person they lost.
I think this is far more common than many realize - and there's a stigma that keeps people from talking about it and connecting.
Has anyone else been through this? How did you navigate it? Thanks for helping me understand.
