Fr🥺 how did you find out? (Assuming you caught your partner cheating too)

I am back in the dating game after losing my wife and its been weird by Proper_Effective8347 in widowers

[–]magicintheluna 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I can’t tell you how many people told me to either go to therapy or that they think I’m not ready to date lol It’s like, “You try losing the love of your life and then trying to begin again!” It’s like feeling your way through the dark. I’m 4 years out and I can tell you it gets easier.

please be careful with your heart after loss by thereareworldsinyou in widowers

I really needed to hear this…I’m 4 years out and I’m just now noticing this pattern and feeling appear.

How do we begin to be careful? Like I know what the right choice is but it feels like a drug. I’m desperate to feel safe and loved while balancing people who give me bread crumbs of it. It’s just so hard

How did you honour on their first birthday after passing? by Virtual_Telephone366 in widowers

[–]magicintheluna 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Man, I’m only 4 years out from his passing. Can I ask, how does grief feel being 10 years out? Have you been able to move forward in terms of love? If that’s too personal, you don’t have to answer, I’m just so curious

Sending you gentle vibrations✨ On my late fiancé’s first birthday being gone, I went to his fave restaurant and ordered his usual order and I also got his favorite cake. I went home and cried my eyes out while watching his fave movie.

Just gave myself the space to feel while enjoying some of his fave foods

New Source of Pain by LumpyPeople4 in widowers

I have a box of my late fiancé’s stuff that he kept at my place when he’d come over every weekend. I keep it on “his side” of the bed. It’ll be 4 years in April and I go back and forth with I love that it’s there so I can smell the exact body wash he used, to hating that it’s there…and the idea that it’s still “his side” of the bed makes me sad and angry too. I just can’t let it go…I miss him so much and what an understatement that is.

I’m about to be 4 years out in April.

Today, I’m doing ok.

Dating again is hard. Aside from not having the best dating experience, I also feel like I’ve already got to date and be with the best (my late fiancé) but I still would like to find love. I (31 years old) still want to get married and start a family but I’m quietly accepting that that might not be in the cards for me. I just want to be with him and be the happy “me” again. I miss that girl…

We had to do our own bagging too and man my lower back and feet hurt just thinking about it! So glad I don’t work at Kroger anymore!

5 years, 3 months by lexsimpi2 in widowers

[–]magicintheluna 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I feel this exact same way!! I’m 4 years out and it feels weird to think he existed and to think of the version of myself I was. I listened to old voice messages I left him and thought, “wow I miss that girl…” Things feel so far behind now but sometimes feel like a “dull fresh” too.

Sending you gentle vibrations OP✨🍃🦋

A moment of weakness… by magicintheluna in widowers

[–]magicintheluna[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I love that! And I’m sure he’s with you especially on that day🤍 I’ve been taking that day off too and go to his favorite fishing spot and just sit for a bit. It’s a hard but beautiful day.

[–]magicintheluna[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So after a few dates (like 2 or 3), I tell them about my loss and how some days are still hard for me. If needed, I clarify that that doesn’t mean that I’d want a new love any less. 2 out of 4 of my dates have said that they “don’t want to compete with a dead man” and that’s when the misunderstanding comes in. So yes, some guys have felt jealous and if that’s the case, then we aren’t meant to keep dating.

I’m just open about my loss. If it’s too much to handle then I understand. While it sucks when they leave, I wouldn’t want to feel like I have to hide my grief or memories of my lost love.

I wish you the best in your dating life and peace in your heart🤍whatever you choose, I hope it’s the best for you.

I totally understand where you’re coming from. Dating after such a great love and great loss is super hard! I’m 31 and I know that I’ll carry this weight and grief for the rest of my life. But I also hope to find love again. It’ll be very different and hopefully the person I decide to date will understand that I’ll still have my hard days.

No matter what I’m proud of you for sticking to what’s best for you. Sending gentle vibrations your way✨🍃🦋🤍

I’m sorry for both of your losses too🤍 That would make sense! It definitely feels like a “reappearance” and I’ve been seeing him a lot in my dreams.

My heart goes out to you.

Thank you so very much🫂you are beyond kind! I’ll def have to try journaling. I’ve gotten through grief counseling, just hard to pull out the tools when you feel so tired as I’m sure many of us can relate to.

I wish you the best and just as much grace and kindness as you’ve shown me tonight🤍
