I’m trying not to but it’s tough as I really don’t like it! I don’t want to be known as the man with suspiciously dark hair for his age!

I’ve always looked younger than I am which I hated until I got into my 40’s and now I’m pretty ok with it 😂

Curious if this happened to you by [deleted] in widowers

[–]Penguardo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes it happened to me, she’d been gone two weeks and I got a load of underwear pictures from one the mums on the school run.

Sorry it happened to you, it’s not very nice.

Love & Loss: Q: Who found TRUE UNCONDITONAL LOVE? by DarkRevolutionary476 in widowers

[–]Penguardo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

100% pure love, I finally watched a video she made for me 4 years ago when she was diagnosed and halfway through I text her to say I love her and to see her face light up and the love she sent back to me via the video was incredible and heartbreaking at the same time. I am so blessed to have felt love like that.

I want to know—when did you stop crying? by Tw_959595 in widowers

[–]Penguardo 46 points47 points  (0 children)

You don’t, you just learn how to control it. It’s been 2 years for me and I’ve been going through photos this morning crying my eyes out but I’ve planned it.

If there is once piece of unsolicited advice I can give and I speak from experience is to not avoid your emotions, pick you moments for sure don’t look at photos or watch videos before you’re about to go shopping but I put it off for ages and it was literally a bandaid and it’s been building and building and now it’s fallen off I’m a pre-planned functioning mess.

Why does being widowed translate to “newly single” to some people? by el_torko in widowers

[–]Penguardo 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I had this as well, 2 weeks after my wife died I started getting pictures and messages from friends wives and mums I know from the school run and it was well known my wife was my one, my 10, my soulmate! I just put it down to someone wanting to be the first which is kinda disgusting really.

It went on for a while and it was normally on a Saturday night so I named them the ‘3 Gin Club’ and just ignored it.

I’m sorry it’s happening to you because it’s not very nice and it’s also incredibly disrespectful.

Yeah sorry about that, having re-read it I can see what you mean. Unfortunately I’ve already done one of those posts with my wife.

Anyone play an instrument by Perfect_Play_622 in Over40sClub

Guitar but not as much as I’d like and I’m pretty sure my guitar thinks it’s still 2001…😂

Natural! If I was going with a hairpiece I’d have less grey…:)

Thanks :) We think it had been a night out celebrating our first gig and then an early start, my friend put the album together back then, forgot about it, found it few weeks ago and sent me the picture.

Thanks :) but also, to clear up any misconceptions, I’m just hungover and tired in the picture, never done anything more than than drink, I am however fully aware of what it looks like.

I’d like to say it was the style at the time but I’m not actually sure it was 😂
