  6. I live on my own (mentioned before)
    I have an #amazon #echo (or three)
    I am a bloke
    I have been a #widower on my own for +5yrs

    Someone, anyone, could open the door, catflap and order something.

    YOU - yes YOU - could open my door or spoof another device to create my /any voice to order stuff.

  7. Without going into details, whether to try for a kid during the pandemic was a difficult discussion for me and Jaci. Had we access to even the broad strokes of this information, it’s easy to believe we might have waited for more clarity, or at least for our social safety net to recover more.

  9. The Widower (1875-6) by Luke Fildes (English artist, lived 1843–1927). A toil-worn labourer nursing a dying child, surrounded by an uncomprehending and newly motherless brood. Fildes had worked as an illustrator for Dickens.

  10. Yesterday afternoon, local pub in the garden with the dogs. Not that busy. Sunny but slightly chilly. Lime & soda, chucking sticks for one dog, fussing the other. Then I had a thought. Problem was this thought came in clattering loudly in neon lights.
    "My wife should be here" (I used her name which I'm not writing here).

    She died Dec 2018, and yet the grief has just come flooding back.
    I'm at the point of tears, sitting here doing nothing, taking nothing in.

  11. My youngest - almost 30 - msgd to ask if she’d ever had Chicken Pox. Had to reply that I had no idea. We both know that her mum - my late wife - would have known not just the answer but the dates too.

    I miss her

    I know this is a bit late, I hope you had a good holiday.
    The holidays and places can definitely be reminders of our loved ones.

    The loss totally sucks, I know.
    March 3rd, 2021 was the day that I took my wife into the hospital for pneumonia....

    Well, you got some time to use it up.
    I've got two bottles of chocolate syrup one is 2 years beyond its best used by date and the other ones 3 years.

    Yesterday I ate some saltine crackers that were 6 months beyond the best used date but they seem to be okay.

  14. Kind of hard on the mind to read about President Carter going into hospice care on the first anniversary of my wife's death.

    Miss you Mim.

  16. CW: Suicide

    So I just found out someone I knew from a Discord support group for widows/widowers died by suicide last night.

    I don't really know what to do with that. Just have to process it, I guess.

  17. Going to the model train show had a weird vibe. It was for some stretch the same route I drove many times to take my wife to chemotherapy. I don't think I've had to drive that route for anything since she died.

  19. Life's Autumn

    It is the autumn of my life,
    and I find myself alone.
    The winds of solitude,
    chilling me to the bone.

    Perhaps in time,
    I'll find someone new.
    A loving mate,
    to turn my lips red-hot from blue.

    Me & Mole 🐾 are on our lonesome this Christmas as my wife passed away in November.

    Thanks, kind of funny. It's odd things that we discover, or re-discover about our mate after she's gone.

    It struck me odd, as I just bought some Cat Kitchen towels to supplement the ones My Janet had. But they're not as pretty as hers, but kind of a reflection of the changes...

    - It can be kind of a bittersweet thing..

  29. Recent #widower discovery’s update… 👀 On looking for a fresh tea towel after putting a fare few in the washing machine for an energy sapping hot wash I found a previously unknown to me secret draw in the kitchen with another Sixty two!!! Sixty bloody two, plus a very useful tea cosy and judging by my recents burns from using the oven some muchly needed oven gloves 🧤 My Linda was clearly prepping for a future world where there would be a tea towel shortage 😂

  31. A note on this post:

    I'm a #widower; Dan, my husband of 18 years, passed away suddenly in 2017. #Grief never really goes away, but you learn to live with it. Sometimes, though, you get a reminder and all of the feeling come back anew.

    I'm not sure I'll be good for much this morning.

  32. Feels weird writing an introduction for an account that's been around for years. I never really used it. Can't remember why to be honest, but here we go.

    Me: PNW resident, widower (fuck cancer), two kids, six cats 🐱 no free time. 😆

    What time I get goes to Star Trek 🌌 reading 📖 listening to music 🎵 mostly. And suffering as the Philadelphia Flyers 🏒 make me do all too often.

    Cheers.

  34. By way of an #introduction, I am a retired software developer living just outside Toronto. I enjoy #hiking, #reading and #DnD. I like to #travel and watch #britcrime shows, among others. Alas, also a #widower.

  36. Those moments when you want to share something with your wife...
    And you can't.
    Yeah those moments kinda suck.
    reality.
