The In-Between Widow: Blogs of Note
http://inbetweenwidow.blogspot.com/2010/10/httpsurvivingmiddle-agedwidowhood.html
We are the Baby Boomer Widows, born between 1946 and 1964. Not considered "young widows" but neither are we "old widows". We are the In-Between Widows.caught somewhere betwixt the two. I constantly see stories, posts, ads, websites, support groups, etc. on line directed at "young widows". Exactly what does that mean, anyway? Young enough to remarry and have more kids, not old enough to draw social security, what exactly? Saturday, October 30, 2010. The Widdahood Social Networking Blog Highly recommend it!

A place to empty my mind when it all becomes too much. Momma, Mother.wheres Mom? The Broken Heart Guide. Momma, Mother.where's Mom? Posted by Lonesome Dove at 3:51 PM. Ah, parent. There's that word again. What is a parent really? Are they a teacher, or possibly a role model? Maybe a mentor or nurturer? Caregiver, confidant, consoler? She was married 8 or 9 times (I lost count), had inappropriate sexual encounters throughout my life, used sex as a means to an end (new washer/dryer, new car, new jewelry, e...

In a nutshell | You're gone

A widow's blog. Pretend it’s ok. You’re gone, and so am I →. June 11, 2011. Evening, my love. A wordsmith. Who is also a widow has given the crux of my problem with life clarity I can’t summon. If grief is just about me (and perhaps someday I’ll get to the point where it is only about me), then it’s not my place to care about my life mate being gone from this earth. But if life is worth living, how can I not care that it is being denied him? But I’d just as soon not dwell on that. I’d hate to go th...

A widow's blog. My husband died on 11 Feb 2011. I'm trying to figure out where I go from here. You’re gone, and so am I. June 12, 2011. Evening darl. This means of trying to stay connected to you has been a mistake. I can’t be honest with you or me. I can’t say what I really think.

A widow's blog. Newer posts →. June 5, 2011. Hello my dearest love. It’s Sunday night and I’m back at our house after spending the weekend at Mum and Dad’s. The last couple of days have been very like a little holiday from the abject depths of my grief. I’ve still missed you; I’ve still cried. But I’ve laughed more, smiled more, felt less sad. A break I probably needed before I broke. I love you and miss you. Being kind on myself. June 4, 2011. It was a lovely evening, cold enough for a winter coat. ...

A widow's blog. You’re gone, and so am I. June 12, 2011. I know now there are no answers, no comfort, no end. Heaven was any place where we were together, and Hell is any place where we are apart. We’ve both been fucked over in this deal. We’re both grieving, lost, angry, desperate. No one, nothing, can change this. Everything we had was taken from us. Even memories hurt. Beauty hurts. Love hurts. You’re gone. I’m gone. We’re gone. View all posts by cancerwidow →. This entry was posted in grief. Create a...
