I’ve been widowed for nearly seven years, it’s not raw anymore, but l do feel it’s without purpose.i have a good, full life, no money worries, healthy as far as I’m aware but life seems pointless. I’m grateful for all that I have, but, feel it’s something out of “Ground Hog Day” I’ve meet men, one of whom would have given me the world, a widower. However am used now to living alone and doing and having things my way, was no point and very unfair just to settle because it would have been the easiest thing to do.
Still miss my husband, ours wasn’t the happiest of marriages, we were married for 47years, he and our children were my whole world. I have so much giving to give and would love to have someone to give it too, presently am giving it to myself. This sounds really whiny and needy, that’s not really who l am wondered if others who have been widowed for longer feel the same.
