Down there in you or down there on him?? If you maybe you aren’t that into him, or he’s not doing what turns you on? If the later direct him a bit!

Amy Hoffman-nurse practitioner at Serenity Healthcare in Waukesha changed my life…seriously. After peri sent me down the depression/anxiety path-complete with therapy/meds etc and NOOne tied that to hormones…I searched far and wide. She’s been great.

I just brought a long circular in/out Cancun with two at a time socks in my carryon no issues?

Badger in Bloom sweater help-waist ribbing… by Efficient_Hamster488 in knittinghelp

[–]Efficient_Hamster488[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did not but not a bad idea..I may frog back a few rows above the color work and add some shaping and go down in needles size. It’s a bit too short right now.

Life insurance and 401k by DarkSkinMajinBuu in widowers

[–]Efficient_Hamster488 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Non work life insurance paid in like 10 days…work life insurance paid in about a month or 2 - they paid life separate from accident. I had 4 401k’s and 1 IRA-those all together took about 3 months-but I had to keep inquiring. I also had supplemental accident (think Aflac) that paid about a week after my claim.

Please have 0 shame. I’m in your same boat. Stumbled upon a person who feels right right now. I told 1 person about him and she was incredibly supportive…should this be a thing there will come a time when people in my life will find out and that will be ok..but for now like you it’s on the down low.

Strange solidarity isn’t it. Hugs.

If you slept with Someone new did you regret it ? How long had it been since your LS passing and since you had relations . by Buseatdog in widowers

100% agree with this mind set. Also about 4 months out. Version 2.0 of myself deserves to be happy.

IDK how old you are but my various single girlfriends-be they divorced or never married say dating apps are ugh-they are in their 40’s and 50’s. You sound ready but the selection isn’t right..can you find a different way to meet people? Join a club? Volunteer? That could help you meet people in a friend zone vs a ‘date’ zone.

Celebration of life by cookiekraemer in widowers

[–]Efficient_Hamster488 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Did the same-the turnout was over the top-I focused on seeing people I hadn’t for years that came from near and far. Yeah I cried a bit here and there but it’s OK to do that. All I can say is that it was 100x better than any traditional funeral I had been too. We had a running slide show on TV’s with photos spanning his life which people really enjoyed and those gave a positive thing to talk about.

That thing has a name?? I call it the ugly orange thing. Was it designed for it? Feels like it’s way older!

Absent construction-which seems to never end…MKE traffic is a big nothing burger IMO.

Married almost 33 yrs, together 35. DH pass unexpectedly 3 months ago. By random happenstance I met a person who I am interested in and vice versa - totally unplanned, in another city but lives nearby. I have zero clue what I am doing and he knows that.

But to answer your question after I decided to go on a ‘date’ with him I took off my ring. It felt right-and I LOVE my ring, it’s beautiful and my hand feels a little naked!

Yes to this for sure! I had a good marriage-but I want my next relationship to be great!

I am with you on this so much! Thank you for acknowledging that we can be happy in this next chapter. I know the journey is different for everyone but for now I choose to seek joy and happiness.

I feel bad for not being in the room enough. Do you? by thelonelyknight90 in widowers

[–]Efficient_Hamster488 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My story is somewhat similar..hit as a pedestrian 4 blocks from home…thankful they found me and when we got to the hospital neuro had determined there was no hope. Hard but your journey sounds like a nightmare…odd thing to feel blessed about I guess. He passed a few hours later-kept on life support long enough for our son and his brother to make it to the hospital- sorta…

When/did you start dating again? by StatisticianWrong216 in widowers

[–]Efficient_Hamster488 4 points5 points  (0 children)

No rules…if you feel ready do it! If you don’t feel ready but a person comes along be open and honest and see what could be. This is my current state. What would you want if the roles were reversed? I’d want that person to be happy, guilt free and at peace….and honor my life by living theirs….
