Yes it does but it can take a long time. Took me 3 yrs to feel human & 4 to want to be around myself. It sort of builds up over time then suddenly you feel it. It feels odd to not feel it so deep. Set small goals you know you can do.
If you're not sleeping ..get something to help you.

It does get easier but the feeling of loss never goes away.

honestly.. i'm not a widower and neither am i married...i'm single and looking for someone who has been married and matured for a peaceful relationship...and please if you msg me and do not get any reply,do not get mad at me..it means i'm taken..

I've received 6 msgs since I posted in here commenting I'm how they could take the loneliness away,wish they had been there for me, etc.
I didn't understand how they thought I was lonely .. not in my PROFILE.
Guess they think the widowed is easy bait

I have been a widow for 13 years now, people need to understand that the time that passes can help, but "time" is also one of your worst enemies. Time to think about what you have lost, time to feel sorry for yourself, dinner time, bed time...when all you do is think about your love one that is gone.
You have to keep busy and surround your self with people who will support you. Go have fun, dont let time get away from you!!
You know by losing the one you loved that life is too short, so my advise to you would be to grieve in your own way, but live - really live!! That's what I am doing even if it took me 13 years to figure it out.

Recently widowed and I miss just talking to someone. Does it ever get easier?

My hubby died on May 15th, this year. So far it hasn't gotten easier, but everyone is telling me it does. I am just waiting for that to happen. I really miss adult conversation, which is why I joined here. there are alot of good people on here that really want to help you out during your hard time.

good luck to you

hi, long haired others , others and lonely . I am divorced so I may be comparing apples to oranges. But the griving process. There is no such thing as ' get over it I think , if that person was a part of your life . I still miss my dad, esp. when thinking of buying a new car. ,miss his adivce ect. What you can do is draw on the good times , memories and wisdom hopefully of the person you miss, and try to move on to be the person they would want you to be .faith wise , draw closer to Jesus , your heavely farther is there always , and he has the unique ablility to see the whole pictue , future and a true wisdom .

Yes sometimes the loneiiesness can almost be like a deafness . God Bless us all.

I went out last weekend to a dance for another dating site I belong to. I thougt it would be fun to go to. It was just a half hour from my house. Well to make a long story short I got hit up 3 times by the guys who wanted to knock one off if I lived close to them. One guy wanted to come home with me. What is the world comming to. Or am I just old fashion wanting to know someone first?? Well I would rather stay home than get hit on when I go out.

No longer in love? Either u love forever or u never were to begin with...JMHO

I believe we can still love our love ones. I was married 45 years had 3 kids and 8 grandchildren there is know way I can ever forget him . Not in love but love . I will be In love when I find someone to spend the rest of my life with. I believe we can love more than once .

I am a 2 time widow. and was very young... the first time and only 36 the second time. it is hard but time has been a great comfort and even if I dont understand why, I trust God. I can say i am now able to look back and be thankful for the good times, allow someone else in my heart and life... and KNOW that God did not design us to be alone. you can hold someone in your heart in a special place, but sometimes people who want to know you or have a realtionship with you are threatened by a memory. that is not the case for anyone who i meet and try to build with. I am no longer in love with my deceased husbands, but i will always care. but not in a way any man would have to ever wonder if i am comparing them to my former husbands. I would never do that, my heart is healed long ago. and time is the answer..... stay strong.
