[quote=Anonymous]I went on a date with a widowed man once. I wasn't sure if or how he would refer to her and I chose to let him lead. He referred to her as his late wife and it was a brief story in reference to his kids. I offered empathy but mostly through body language and facial expressions. I wanted him to know that I was comfortable talking about her however he wanted. I think it depends on what stage he's in and what happened to her, plus how comfortable he is speaking freely. I think being genuine, open and caring goes a long way. If you feel sensitive to how the loss may or may not have affected him, it will come across.[/quote]
