It's a proven fact that widowers are treated very differently than widows.
Widows get support from everyone, family, friends, community groups and even local tv! Widowers, on the other hand get ignored, backs turned and treated like they had the plague. When it happened to me I studied this very carefully and came to this conclusion. It's the "John Wayne Image" that all men are supposed to have. Men hurt and cry too, we have feelingsand shouldnt be ignored. Please comment on my conclusion. Thank you Posted on 06/29/08, 09:06 pm |

I got that same response from several people - that it was better Mike went first because it would have been harder for him if I had. I'd been on my own for a long time before I knew Mike. Like you, I HATE every minute of being without him.

Yes, real men cry. My husband would cry and I actually had even more pride and respect for him being brave enough not only to feel these deep feelings, but brave enough to share them with me. I'm sorry if people have ignored your pain. This is a place where you can be vulnerable without being judged... Amy
