Or do I even bother? I hear differing views all the time and am beginning to believe that I'm dog-meat! It's funny, but I couldn't stand being married and now I can't stand being alone!

How long have you been a widow, grief is a process. I'm a widow too and don't know where to start, I have no interest in a social life that involves starting over, just accept each day, and you'll get through it, the first six months were really rough, I was married for 35 years, I still don't believe I will never see him again, can't accept sometimes, but we must keep going on.
I pray for strength and I repeat God will take care of me, this gives me strength, I miss the companionship, the sharing, the smile most of all. If you don't have a pet get one, this helps honest.
Why couldn't you stand being married? and why do you put yourself down your not dog meat, your just not ready. I don't think I'll ever share vows with anyone else at the moment this is what I believe, but my family is helping me come to grips, our sons are lost and my husband was better with advice then I was. Stay strong, and God keep you safe and loved.

I've been on my own since 1999 after being married to a real jerk.I have had 3 relationships since and none of them worked out. I pick younger men because the ones that are my age look old! I don't really mind being without a man. I just keep busy with work and all the things i like to do. They say don't go looking for a man that one will find you. That is what I am doing.

Bother! of course you should. Starting over does not mean you have to get married right away. Life is hard. If you have no one to share it with just think how hard it could really get. We were placed here on earth as a couple. So i believe we should go through life as a couple. Being alone is not very nice. Sure you can get used to it, but what a waste of life. Live it to the fullest.
Live, Laugh & Love. you go for it

Its never to late for anything. Being along cant be bad, its just different. Try doing somthing new. pick up a hobby or somthing that you couldnt do while you were married. life is hard and when you think its gonna get better it gets harder. All a person can do is move on.
Good luck

The question is are you ready to start over, nomatter what has happen you must want to go on with life, you do not have to get remarried, but you have to go on with life. You can have male friends or companions or whatever you chose, but living closed in will drive you crazy. You are still walking on this earth, so you must go on, start with just friends, going out once in a while, then go out alone, but you must start somewhere.

being widowed myself twice. i found by not looking for anyone, you find someone in time. its been three years since my wifes death from a car accident. i went out a few times, but when the right person comes along it will happen. it takes alot of patience. i hang out with many friends and some friends become more in time.

Well you could do what my father in law is doing he lost his wife to a car accident in 2000 and he told us he will never marry but he has a girl friend and she understands that she will never get married to him bc he does not want to be married. they have been together for 6 years now.
or just have a campion not boyfriend just friend that you can talk to and keep you company.
