I am a 40 yr. old widow. Have been one for 6 yrs now and I still ain't found happiness. I have realized that as I am getting older it's getting harder in the dating scene as my expectations of what I want and need now are so much different than when I was younger. I feel like I am busting on the inside to express so much love to that one man, but at the same time I can't seem to meet the right one.
My nights are lonely and I miss doing th little things with someone special...How does one go about meeting someone at my age? I have lived all over the states since my husband died. Can't really seem to find where I belong. I am moving back to Topsail Island in nNorth Carolina in August as that seems to be the only place I feel is home to me.
I guess the main question here is how dos one learn to live life again? Would truly like some advice from soeone who has went through this also.

If you belong to a church that would be a good place to start with the various clubs, also find clubs that suit your hobbies, and perhaps at work you may find outlets where you could meet other people of both sexes, just get out and mingle and sooner or 'later you will meet the right person. I have not been thru that as I was much older when I became a widow and I had been there and done that for 34 years and that was enough for me, I did not want to remarry at my age.

It's really hard to lose something specially someone. I do no if this can help. See a close friend that you trusted and talk to her about your suffering so that it will be out of your system. Go to the places you love, schools that you have your happy moment. Parents that alway's there to guide you. Siblings that will always there to help you. Keep your mind and body busy on thing you always love to do....

I havent been through what you have been through,but I would imagine that from reading what you written,that it must be very difficultt to start sall over again...as you say we get older andd it all becomes much more difficult to meet anyone.I suppose a lot of people would say join some clubs and see how that goes,but im none too sure about the dating sites...some have good reports and some have bad experiences...but whatever you choose ..good luck.
