I lost an amazing loving wife about 10 months ago after sharing almost 40 years together. I was an old dog - a widower - lost in the wilderness without my cherished partner. My purpose in life had vanished and i was grieving. Knowing this, my daughter helped me sign onto a dating app about 6 months in - that for many reasons was unsuccessful. But I soon learned I needed to find "the girl next door".
Lucky me - I found one - who was not looking for a partner - but willing to be with me. I began to fall in love with this woman and she asked to take things slowly.
Then I got lucky again - I met Dawn - "The Wise Widow". During her seminar she outlined the grieving we go through - check - check - check - her list included ALL the feelings I was having. Not only had she been through the grieving process herself but had the wisdom, skill, and training to send the universal message that we all grieve in different ways - at different times - and reality also checks in. Reality for me, was I had not truly said "Goodbye" to my wife.
I went to my new gal and asked for 'A Time Out'. The Wise Widow's words helped me understand that my wife was gone forever - I would never see her again - but she is still in my heart and I will love her till I die.
Now I am willing to put in the time, until my new girl is ready. I have purpose again as we build our adventures together. Special thanks to 'The Wise Widow"
