Here I am again....lost my husband in March very suddenly. When my husband died I felt so lost the first couple months but six months have passed and I know I don't want to be alone for the rest of my life. I have started to go out again. Some say it is too soon but I believe I need the contact with the opposite sex. I am very careful as I don't want to attract men looking for a free ride as I am very comfortable. I was surprised to find an abundance of financially-secure men who want to establish a relationship and possibaly more. I am still trying to move past the pain. I date and still wear my wedding rings...these men seem to understand the need to do this and finally I am beginning to see a new kind of normal for me. I know this attitude is not for everyone but I will not stay home depressed...I need to move on and I know my husband wanted that for me. I don't know if I will marry again but I want to feel alive again and will not withdraw from the world. Joanne
