I met a gorgeous woman this morning who also lost her husband this year.  We started chatting about what we have done since our partners passed away.  I told her how I have gone out and bought a new bed suite and car and started making my own decisions and it has been an interesting experience.

The woman mentioned about how she didn’t know what to do or what was expected as a grieving widow considering that she wasn’t an emotional person.  There really isn’t a guide book on how to grieve as we all grieve differently. I mentioned about the waves of grief I feel and how I tend to cry privately.

This got me thinking about how other widows grieved, how they manage now being alone. I came up with another idea for a book on widow’s personal experiences after the death of a loved one and how they have managed to move forward

Since my own husbands death, it is amazing how many people I meet that have a similar experience who have also lost their life partner.  Not sure why, maybe the frequency I am now on.

So now I would like to put together a collaboration with other widows, sharing their experiences after the loss of their partner.  Together our stories and experiences may help others.  Knowing that we are not alone and we all go through similar journeys will help those experiencing the same.

If you are reading this blog and can relate and want to contribute to the new book, please leave your details under contacts on the front page of this website.
