Hi to all, we had a new poster with an important question in our roll call thread and I didn't want it to get overlooked. I know that so many of us have good stories and advice here. Please help!
"Hi, my name is Deanna and my husband died 15 months ago yesterday. He died from a blood clot that formed during chemotherapy and surgeries. We were married 18 years and have two great kids, Tyler (14) and Krysta )10). I am finally seeing that maybe I can have a happy life somewhere down the road. My problem is that I think I am ready to date, but any friends that we had when we were married don't come around anymore. Basically I have one friend that is married and she can't go out much. So, I don't know how to go out and meet men. I don't think I should go to bars alone, and I am alittle nervous about online. What do you guys suggest. I am so lonely for adult conversation. I just don't know how to go about this. My self esteem is so low right know because it has been 15 months and I have not been asked out once. How pathatic is that? Anyway, sorry for a long posting. Hope someone replies."

I'm very sorry for your loss. I just wanted to chime in and welcome you. This is a great group of women and I'm sure you'll get lots of helpful advice here.
I've been separated for well over a year now and really haven't dated much. I have been out a few times but right now I'm not really sure what I'm looking for. I have been giving it a rest and not really looking. Dating is much different than it was in my 20's and I'm not really looking for the same things now that I was before.
So no real advice from me but I'm sure it will get easier for you.
Priscilla
