Thoughts on widowhood

Losing your mate is an experience that has and will continue to fill<b> library </font></b>shelves!
So this is just one point of view.
What happened when I lost my companion of 44 years? She will never be replaced. She is the love of my life and at my age there are no family or any other reason to want another marriage.

Well for the first while there was not much choice - I survived day to day. But after a year and a half I started yearning for companionship and intimacy, and continued desire for physical and sexual contact - yet I'm still grieving every day and absolutely not ready to get into a relationship.
I'm told that this takes a lot of time, possibly 3 to 5 years, and for some, it never happens.

So what kind of union is created under these circumstances. A typical one is 2 widowed people, who build from community of interests as a friend put to me recently.
I like this way of putting it, as this community of interests can be at many levels, and if there is time left in our lives, we can be there for each other as long term companions while respecting each others families.
A lot more to say about all that, but enough for today
