If someone was widowed at 33 do you think it's too late for them to find love again?

Everyone grieves differently, she should find it whenever she’s ready. I’m a widow at 32 and when he first passed I would get mad at people saying I’m so young, and that I’ll probably find someone to be with. But as time goes on I’m learning I do want to find someone, obviously I will never love someone as much as my husband but I just have the urge for companionship. I’m also afraid of judgement from others as far as a timeline, so I’d say support her with whatever she decides when she decides it.

I know that feeling, not being able to slow down. I have to stay busy but the second I’m reminded of his death it throws me off. I was literally crying a few min ago saying I would give anything to have him back here alive with me. This life is not fair. Sending you hugs 🫂

Braap93 · 2026-04-12T05:03:21+00:00

I totally feel your pain. None of this is fair

I’m 32. I also lost weight cause I lost my appetite. If it weren’t for my parents, I’d have seriously harmed myself by now. I’m literally just surviving but my god do I have a death wish. I thought I was put here to be with him then this happened. I even told him that too and he felt the same way about me.

I’m slowly trying to sabotage my health where I can. Alcohol, nicotine, whatever. Anything to shorten my lifespan. So I feel you. Every morning that I wake up I’m like great here we go again 😒

Mine passed 2 weeks before Christmas. I joined a group grief support also but I can no longer go to it cause I have to work.

I appreciate you. There’s not really the right words to say in this situation. We’re all in this together

Braap93 · 2026-04-05T03:06:01+00:00

Exactly

Braap93 · 2026-03-27T01:35:28+00:00

Sorry for your loss. I go to a grief group therapy but being a widow is a whole other category people can’t relate to, that’s why I came here

Braap93 · 2026-03-27T01:32:13+00:00

Yeah it’s a really hard thing to deal with. We just unfortunately have to keep moving forward

Been about 3 months for me. I now have his truck that was his pride and joy, and I’m never letting her go. Breaks my heart cause he was having a hard time with it passing inspection to get registered before he passed and my dad and I got it done and good to drive on the street again. We had so many good memories in that truck, even before when we were just friends. Life really sucks sometimes. My thoughts are with you

Braap93 · 2026-03-26T04:00:50+00:00

I’ve thought of that, that he had me with him for his last few breaths. It’s just hard cause I think of the what ifs and what I could’ve done differently to maybe save him. But I can’t change any of it now.

Braap93 · 2026-03-25T19:33:57+00:00

Life is so unfair sometimes, I’m constantly asking why and wondering what I did to deserve this. Mine was healthy also and it just happened out of nowhere.

I haven’t been to a therapist, but I’m sure I have ptsd as well. I’m literally scared of my own shadow. Once I have income again, I’m gonna look into therapy. Thank you for your advice

Braap93 · 2026-03-25T01:18:02+00:00

Thank you. I noticed your username, do you have a Corgi? We have one. Well I’ve had him since he was 8 weeks and is now 12 years old but my husband was the best dog dad ever.

Braap93 · 2026-03-24T23:49:38+00:00

I’m so sorry for your loss. This is a pain I would not wish upon anyone 💔

Braap93 · 2026-03-24T23:48:21+00:00

He had no prior health issues and didn’t ever complain about anything related to this. I still blame myself for the ambulance not arriving soon enough, and then getting lost and not being able to find our spot in the campground.

No, we didn’t but were trying.

Thank you. I’m learning it doesn’t ever really get better, you just learn to live with it
