[quote=Anonymous]Fellow widow here chiming in with my own experience. I was widowed in my 30s with young children. They unsurprisingly were my main focus for a few years and I also had to restart my work-life and figure out the whole only-parent dynamic. While I have great friends and a supportive extended family, I knew I wanted...something.

I did get to a point where I met a great guy through friends. He was going through a divorce and we moved very slowly at first. I was deeply in love with my husband and grieved a great deal. But we got a good vibe going and always put our kids' needs ahead of our own - he has two older sons who have mostly lived with him post-divorce. We have no plans to ever cohabitate and I'm not sure I ever will remarry. It's not off the table but I have come to cherish my independence and look forward to my nest emptying over the next few years.

I wish you well, OP. Everyone's situation and outlook is so different. I know other widows who swore they wanted to recouple ASAP and never have; along with those planned to be solo forever and then met someone new. You just never know. The only advice I'd give is to go slow and trust your instincts. Best of luck.[/quote]
