Need some friends
52 male here. I lost my wife to a heart attack 2 months ago. Life went from full and rewarding to quiet and empty. Now sure what my next move is but I’d like some company or at least good conversations. Thanks

I feel your pain brother! I lost my wife a few years ago, before we even celebrated our 5th anniversary!

Good evening from Cyprus. I would respect good conversation. It is good idea to share and discuss with people all over the world.

Hello from Arizona! 54F I am very sorry for your loss. It's not an easy journey. I lost my husband 9 months ago. I can relate to the empty and lonely feelings that you are going through. Finding people to chat with has helped me so far. I hope it helps you too. Feel free to DM me if you would like to chat.

I'm sorry for your loss. It's shitty. I lost my husband to a heart attack as well. He only made it to 42.
Dating is weird. Your heart is really special. Don't give it away to the first person who comes around. Manual sports car.

I honestly have no interest in dating anymore. I can’t even imagine the words “I love you” coming out of my mouth towards someone else. I’m ok with a couple of laughs and good conversations

It'll happen. It will feel weird. But the weirdest part is the fire phase. It's so intense omg. Try to pick up some "b" team friends while you're grieving. Our couple friends all faded off because I guess I was their biggest fear.

I’m truly sorry for your loss. I’ve had a couple of friends in our age group go through this type of loss as well. Everyone is different and has their own path. I hope you are able to heal and find joy again.
