I am sorry for your loss. It must be very difficult to pick up the pieces and move on after such a sudden change in your life.
I hope you find peace with your friends and family in your time of loss.
If you feel up to it could you tell me more about yourself and where you live.

Well this is not very easy for me. I am not a flirt by nature and it has been a long time since I put myself out there in single land. Start like this. I am 49 years old. I had been married for 31 years when my husband passed. I have two grown children and one grandson. I am an office manager at a manufacturing company. I am average looking I would say. I am 5’8” tall. I weight around 140 lbs. I have shoulder length light brow hair and dark brown ( almost black) eyes. I am not drop dead gorgeous but I think I am cute. I have a nice smile, small hands, short ugly fingers and my nose is kind of long. I have decent boobs for an older woman and my ass is firm but my legs are terrible as I have boney knees. I love to garden and I am an avid swimmer. I live in Texas. Hope this helps Jimmy. Thanks for the kind words.

I wish I still lived in Texas (Houston) and could invite you to a cup of coffee. Maybe I move back.

My sincere condolences on the lose of your husband that you loved dearly.

Picking up the pieces will not be easy, you will have rough days. Instead of some stranger telling you how, may I merely point out a couple of things that you might want to pounder.

Guilt- Do you think your husband would want you to feel guilty to fulfill your life and have a loving relationship with another man? I have told my wife that if I pass to find someone that would love her as much as I have. This isn’t betrayal or cheating! Life is too short to be alone, may I ask you f the circumstances were reverse wouldn’t you want the same for your husband instead of him living a lonely life, he deserves to be loved if you are gone.

You are 49 years old you (that’s young) on average you have another 35 years to live, that is longer than the 31 beautiful years that you had with your husband!

Love your husband as you always have, and open your heart to maybe another person that may fulfill your life, keep your standards high and don’t accept anything less than the love that you first husband gave you! It will be hard not to compare a new suitor in your life, be fair and understand no one can replace your husband, but maybe someone can fill an empty void and loneliness and love you like he did!

Guilt will swallow if you let it, it is your choice! If I was your husband looking down on you, I would smile when you took the first step to date and continue when you accepted your first kiss. Yes, I would temporarily look away when if you submitted to another man, merely because I love you and to show you that when your time comes to meet me at the pearly gates, I will be waiting for you with open arms and no guilt or shame that you let some one else in your life, just pure love and joy!

You deserve to be loved with no guilt it is your choice! I truly wish you the best on whatever decision that you make!
