Testimonials From Our Members

By joining WLW, I got help from women who shared the unique experience of dating a widower. With their help I was able to see that the man I was dating exhibited both widower and selfish behavior. When I stopped my "poor widower" pitying behavior and demanded a real relationship and not to be second best to another woman (his late wife), I was able to determine this man couldn't stop being a widower and I ended things. Thanks to WLW, I didn't waste another three years with him. AshLynn

Finding the Women Loving Widowers website was like someone throwing me a BIG LIFE PRESERVER when I was close to drowning! Their wisdom on the subject of being in a relationship with a widower is exactly what I needed to get back my self esteem and strong spirit. The strong support of other women who have traveled the same "Widower Road" before me has been such an encouragement! Dianna

Finding Women Loving Widowers, gave me the outside perspective I needed to make the decision necessary for my well being. Friends and family are full of advice, but their advice is always tainted by their love for you and we tend to take that into account when choosing whether to heed it or not. Advice from WLW is completely neutral and is from women who have traveled this same unique road. They are a wonderful group of supportive women. Thank you WLW. Fiona

WLW was the only site I found online where I found a group of women who had experienced what I was currently going through in a relationship with a widower. While my friends and family tried to be helpful, they just didn't "get it" the way WLW did. They helped me feel I wasn't alone, that my feelings weren't selfish or crazy, that I deserved the best from my relationship, and how to stop tip toeing around my widower's grief to make the changes I deserved to live a happier life. I give much thanks for WLW. Susie

WLW and I are still in the beginning stages of our relationship, just as I am with my new SO. Without the WLW counsel and advice I would be wading in uncharted waters about to go under without even knowing it. WLW has answers even when you are not sure what questions to ask....Thank you, thank you, thank you!! Gleed

This site has helped me in ways no other site on the entire internet could. It helped me understand that if a man becomes a widower that's terribly unfortunate, but should that man decide to enter into a relationship again, he becomes just a man--no special handling is required! I deserve to be #1 and I deserve the best and will settle for no less!" THANK YOU WOMEN LOVING WIDOWERS!!! Happy in California

I just don't know where I would be today if I wouldn't have found WLW. WLW is a gold mine. NSM

WLW offers it's members honest and straightforward advice and support, not the kind of support which equates to "telling you what you want to hear." It is a place for a woman to unburden her troubled mind and heart as well as a place to celebrate her successes. Being with a group of women who share a common experience is powerful! Queenie

Without WLW, I wouldn't be happily married today. I looked for help everywhere else and only found advice that supported the status quo of putting aside my needs and happiness to his loss. The women here encouraged me to speak up, take my needs and desires seriously, and when I talked to my then-SO I learned that he didn't realize how his behavior was affecting me and he STOPPED. He started living in the now, putting us first, and being the man I deserved. I owe so much to the kindness, bluntness, and love found here. Thank you! Sharpy
