[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] A young widow with two young kids is far more attractive to men than a young divorcee with two young kids. You don’t have any ex spousal baggage and custody issues. Just let your friends know that you’d be interested in meeting someone and you will do fine.  [/quote]

+1.  It will be easier than you think. Just try to have fun for now and go slow.[/quote]

Please do share how she’s supposed to “try to have fun” when she has several young children at home who are dealing with the trauma of losing their father? Is she just supposed to drop them while meeting up with random dudes from Hinge?

I feel like the people making these comments are not parents. The logistics involved with OP dating are huge. She can’t just go out and try to have fun. She needs to take a step back and focus on her children.[/quote]

There will be time enough for companionship once they have launched.[/quote]

So, someone who has a baby and loses a spouse shouldn't have any companionship for the next 21 years?

That's absurd.  Obviously, someone would need to take some time to grieve, and help the children with their grief, but OP seems to have done that, and is ready to explore new relationships.  She should proceed slowly, probably starting with meeting away from her home, and not involving her children.  But wanting and seeking companionship is fine. [/quote]
