My first marriage was dead and I had grieved it out long before papers were filed. But I get what you are saying. Right now, I am not sure I will be physically able to fulfill the promise I made to her. I am being tested like crazy right now but it looks like I may have cancer and if it is as...

Lord let this be how I can stand for you, and if and when I am too weak to stand, bring me an Aaron to lift up my hands for you!

The title of the thread pretty much says it. But I have had some gut pain and recently a GI bleed started. Got the imagery done and got shoved over to oncology. And the first round of tests show some evidence of cancer. I had lost my wife back in July of last year, and while I am honestly...

The desire I believe is absolutely normal. When your spouse passes away, they take with them everything that was them and your relationship with them, intimacy, companionship, friendship, a partner for doing life with. Yes we end up with twice the work, and half of everything else. I can...

The same way I did when she was alive. As my beautiful bride.

Don't get me wrong, I don't want to be alone. But I don't want to just, well not sure how to explain this. I am not interested in anyone per se. There is one woman I know that I enjoy spending time with and enjoy her friendship, and I would like to develop the friendship more, but on a purely...

Not sure if I answered this already or not. My background is a bit different as I come from an Amish family (a couple of generations back but...) and jewlery always bothered me. I kid you not I tried getting her to agree to me growing my beard instead... She never went for it, we were always...

As couples do, especially after funerals of close family members, we would talk about what would happen should one pass before the other, we were thinking 20+ years down the road but it is what it is... Anyway, my wife insisted that I promise her that I would find someone new, that I would go...

I lost my beautiful wife in July last year as well. There is nothing I can possibly say to ease your pain, but I will encourage you to look back and see how God is carrying you through this. And if it is available near you, please consider going through Griefshare. It wasn't any kind of magic...

I am prayerful this will find those widowed that are much further along this walk than I am, but here goes nothing. I lost my beautiful wife of 15 years in July of this year. I have gone through griefshare, just finished it Monday actually. I know I have a long way to go, but I was hoping...

Being a widow, or a widower is a very specific thing. It means you were married, and you saw your marriage vows through to their ultimate conclusion. I am sorry to say that when you lose your other half, and if your parents marriage was a Godly marriage, they the two were one made so by God. So...

The thought has occurred to me, yes... If you've not walked this path. When you lose your wife, missing the comforts of a woman does not even begin to describe it. I know that is a tempation I would be vulnerable to, and I know there are predators that prey upon widows and widowers. They...

It is a funny situation in a way. But I totally get what you are saying. I admit would rather much expect the issue to be the other direction. The widows having trouble with widowers coming on to them too early. I have plainly restated my position, and hopefully it will be understood and...

It's a mixed group, but I get your point...

So background here. I am a widower as of this year. Just a few months. My late wife, the honest Gift from God was taken from me. I am dealing with the grief and adjustment through several means. Griefshare, diving headfirst into Gods word, and a widows / widowers support group. I am not now...
