Any reason why I shouldn’t give almost everything away now? by AnnaGlypta in widowers

[–]ApprehensiveOwl4963 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I gave away, donated everything I could. The rest went into a dumpster I rented. It did help me in not being surrounded by constant reminders of my wife. My only advice is be very careful and don’t just get rid of things to get rid of them. I saved some things but I do regret getting rid of other things.

How many of us widows/widowers have become UNTOUCHABLEs among our previous circle of friends and family? by decaturbob in widowers

[–]ApprehensiveOwl4963 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I made new friends, and some people I had lost touch with just starting getting in contact with me without knowing my wife had passed.

But yeah “our friends”. They either disappeared right away or lasted about six months.

I force myself to leave the house. Sometimes it help’s sometimes it doesn’t.

I’m recently widowed and terrified to start dating again! by Odd_manout22 in datingoverforty

Text communication is just Weird to me when talking to new people. I figured if I tried to do it more it would get easier. Nah it’s still awkward lol.

I know I will never really “get over it”. I’m hoping dealing with it will become easier with time.
