So, you went through the hell of your partner dying.
Suddenly, a spark ignites and you find yourself craving touch, thinking about sex, wanting romance and companionship.
It is NORMAL.
You lost your person! You are still human!
You miss the intimacy you shared.
This is a safe place to talk about a belief and hope for love after loss, and any desires for sex & romance after loss. Widow's Fire was the most powerful aspect of my grief. All I could think and worry about right after my loss was when I would ever be touched again. My daily doses of love and affection were wiped out. I panicked. 5 years later, I am still fascinated by the Fire. It caught me by surprise and I thought I was going crazy.
When you are ready to take this step in your grief journey, please know you are joining a community of people who can relate. It is a place for all who believe in life and love after loss, who want a community of honesty, fun, and support and who understand that this is not a road to navigate alone.
We are all finding our way through the Fire.
