I'm part of the tribe who have said goodbye to one parent and are feeling a sense of responsibility for the one who remains - in my case, my mother. How do I make her time smoother, happier? How do I try to ease her, a widow, away from the dark well of grief without dishonoring the necessity of that grief?
I would suggest the widow do things the husband used to do, so he seems to be there with you. You will feel like just going to bed. It's so wonderful, going to bed.
For many women, becoming a widow does not just mean the heartache of losing a husband, but often losing everything else as well.
I'm ultimately a widow and a single mother, who's not even getting to be a mother right now. I am so alone, it's freaky.
I think it's not a femme fatale when someone is not doing it to manipulate men or be like a black widow. She loves him. She does it out of love. She wants him so badly to stay with her.
Being a rock widow is not my job, so I would hire people to do it for me.
I've had two proposals since I've been a widow. I am a wonderful catch, you know. I have a lot of money.
Memory, in widow's weeds, with naked feet stands on a tombstone.
I should say, one of the things about being a widow or a widower, you really, really need a sense of humor, because everything's going to fall apart.
Since I've got on the Internet, it's opened a whole world of wasted time for me. My wife says she's an Internet widow.
