I 've been a widow for 8-1/2 years. The first few years I didn't hesitate to tell people I met that I was a widow as I was still in shock of it all. After a while I decided that I wouldn't share that I was widow unless I was asked if I was married. A few weeks back I realized that sharing...

I am hear to say that I have recovered from the fear of being alone and learning to handle things I nnever even wanted to think about.

I often question if I am "normal" in how I am doing with the loss of my husband. I am the only woman I knew that was widowed at 29 and childless. Most of the people with whom I worked or currently attend school are married and have children or younger and just starting their married life. In...

After my husband died it took a while for me to start living again. I was in survival mode for at least the first year, maybe even the second or third. I had so many expectations of the life that I was going to have and in an instant it all changed. Once I was able to get out of survival mode and into...

After the shock of my husband's death wore off and I began to feel some sense of normalcy in my life, I tried to find information on being widowed and helping get through the grief. I didn’t find much information that pertained to a childless widow in her 20's or 30's. That was over...

I’m stronger than I thought I was. Listen when it is recommended not to make any major life decisions in the first year. I couldn’t tell you anything that happened the first few months, maybe even the first year after my husband died. I worked, paid the bills, and did my best to keep my house...

In life you have to fill out forms that ask for marital status. Well, I received such in the form of duty jury summons. The options were single, married, divorced/separated, and widowed. I selected widow. I was telling a friend that I had received the summons and had to send information back to the county...
