It’s not my term ‘Young and Widowed’ but young widows usually under the age of around 80 where statistically being widowed is more likely…and that being younger usually means it’s harder to connect to the services that tend to think widowed partners are older.
I lost my partner John in 2024, just over 18 months ago, we were together 27 years although we never married, we intended to but life stuff got in the way. I miss him every day.
It’s been oddly harder this year than previous years even though his birthday and Valentines Day was the second time around this time…the first Xmas alone was hard, but it seems you are more focused on the practical stuff, when that’s gone you have little to distract yourself…
Just wondered if anyone out there gets that? And how do you deal with it?
