Oh! I wouldn't say that no one reads your post because I read all of it. I was married twice and both of my wives have died. I had a total of 44 years of a wonderful married lives. Can't understand what all the misery and negative postings here are about. Maybe they just never learned what real love is about? So sad!
This is why I said what I said..
Supernatural said:
"Probably no one visits this thread, but here goes nothing."
"Exactly 9 months ago today, I've lost my husband unexpectedly and suddenly. So, my status went from happily married for 36+ years to widow and therefore single."
"I felt comfortable saying it only after hubby had his funeral service. However, it still feels strange as I'm pondering on what I'm supposed to do next..."
"Example: someone goes through a divorce, upon it being final (from people who are friends) they both took their wedding rings off. Then started on the dating scene again."
"Granted, I miss the daily kisses and hugs. Waking up together in the morning and going to bed at night. Sincerely, it feels as if we're back (daughter and I -- son died in 2017) into the routine we had when hubby was away on work contracts for months on end but without daily phone calls or weekend returns."
"I had to get things organised with munchkins teaching, daily chores, going out shopping. However, these days everything is limited as the cash isn't available as it was back then. So, it's keeping things going while finding new groceries avenue which costs less and surprisingly gives us more food."
"I've found this site after crying my eyes out on a bereavement site which in the end gave no support. I've acquired a new kitten for help, health and vitality. No offers of medication to cope with situation at hand. However, kitten has been the best medicine and daughter too, she's been a rock."
"Looking for friends as I love a word or two here and there, I get that here, which is an added bonus. The first few days afterwards were the hardest. Month of May had daughter's and hubby's birthday and his funeral took place in the last week of May."
"Our 37th wedding anniversary was in June and we used to look at our wedding album usually. I couldn't find the strength to even pick it up."
"Daughter and I took out our July to-do list and we've been working on it, slowly but surely. Scoring off what we wanted done. Granted had to add a few more things which thankfully were done quickly. We're getting there."
"Saturdays are difficult as he died on a Saturday and on the anniversary as like today, it's a wee bit more trying. Maybe once it's been a year that he's gone, I might start looking but I feel more that if a second soulmate is out there for me, it'll happen the same way I'd met my departed husband back in the 80s."
"For now, getting friends to chat with is the priority as loneliness is a constant companion these days. Cheers!"
My post was in answer. She wrote "loneliness is a constant companion these days"
I'm single because I choose to be, that's not always the case as Supernatural just let us know...
