Dear Abby: Widow Is Tired of Being Alone After Four Months
AUG 1 – A 65-year-old widow faces challenges finding companionship without online dating and is focusing on friendship rather than remarriage, four months after her husband's death.
- A 65-year-old widow, whose spouse died about four months prior, is interested in dating for friendship and companionship rather than remarriage.
- She feels ready to move on despite some people hesitating and believing it may be too soon due to the recent loss.
- The widow dislikes online dating and finds it difficult to meet men her age, even though she has interest from several men who do not pay much attention.
- She expressed that while she has all her material needs met, she lacks a loving and caring partner, and it is recommended to maintain mental well-being by staying active and engaging in at least 30 minutes of daily exercise.
- She also holds a taped statement of her grandfather's estate wishes, which should be discussed with an estate attorney to prevent legal issues as her sister expects a share and may react angrily.
