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 dating, desires and a belief and hope for relationships & romance after loss. Widow's Fire was the most powerful aspect of my grief. Daily doses of love and affection were wiped out. I panicked. 5 years later, I am still fascinated by the Fire and the way it has helped steer my new path.
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.
Create a profile and enter a world where Wids connect over a variety of topics and interests, with the option to message privately. You never know who you might meet and how your life might move forward.
It's ok to feel these flames.
With burning love,
Julia
