- I am going on 3 years and I know my wife is gone and not coming back. I have been doing OK, getting out, being social and staying busy. I have spent time with my own thoughts going over my loss. But still every once in awhile it hits me that this...
- I recently wrote about how empty I feel but at times I have had feelings for someone. And that scares the heck out of me but Im not sure why. Am I afraid of losing someone again, getting hurt, hurting someone else or just afraid to be happy...
- A while back someone wrote about the "old timers " moving on. Im still here for a lot of reasons. Dealing with this grief will be life long for me. I will always miss her and wish she was here. Shes not here so I will need to live my life the best...
- I lost my wife a little over two years ago. I have been active with Meet-Up groups for over a year.I have met some wonderful people and even dated a few attractive, smart and funny ladies, but I just dont feel anything. I really would like to...
- This dating is new to me and Im still finding my way. I have a few lady friends I have gone out with. Some are real dates while some are us both enjoying the same activity. I usually just hug the person at the end of the datebut Im not sure not...
- Well, today is two years since I unexpectantly lost my wife Laurie. While I am doing much better than I was, I really hoped I would be further along by now. While the grieving part still hurts I think trying to begin your new life is almost as...
- Im approaching two years and I haven't had what I would call a serious relationship and I was wondering how long it took and how did it turn out. It seems to me the first one might not work out but what do I know. I just had a minor relationship...
- I'm nearing two years since I lost my wife Laurie and I thought I was doing pretty well, but lately I have become so emotional and crying a lot more often. I also recently met someone I like which has opened feelings I haven't felt for a long time....
- I plan to drive to Florida at the end of the month which will take about 20 hours. Even though it's been 22 months since my wife passed, I'm still concerned about that much time alone. I purchased some books on tape to kill time, radio, etc.. Anyone...
- I survived the first year and about 13-14 months was starting to do pretty well. About 17 months it all hit again, and all I can think about is how much I miss her and that I'm all alone now. Not sure if it's the shorter days or just the truth...
- OK so Im approaching the 18 month mark without my wife Laurie. I found the first year to be about survival, just trying to make it through another day and deal with the horrible pain. Now into year two that pain is less but I feel I miss her more...
- Its almost 16 months for me and I have become socially active, joining a number of meet -up groups. I would love to have someone special in my life but where do you start. I have met a number of very nice woman and actually felt attracted to a...
- This kind of relates to Mel's thread, but she's light years ahead of me so I won't attempt to offer advice. I'm at 14 months and still haven't dated, the thought of it is pretty scary. I have gone to a few meet-ups and I met someone I like and she...
- Well, I did it! I had planned to retire in spring of 2013, but when my wife Laurie died I decided to put it off as I still needed a place to go and friends to be around. By the end of 2013 I felt I wanted to retire again, so I set a date of April 1,...
- Never thought I would make it this far. My wife died unexpectently one year ago today. I can see looking back that this was ayear of survival making it one day at a time. While the year passed quickly I still miss her so much. I know that wont...
