What a great discussion. So nice to see people feeling safe and able to share.
I think there is something to the gender issue. Most times if a wife dies young the husband remarries faster than if the roles were reversed. Also after a divorce I believe ( from what I have read and witnessed in my 52 yrs) men remarry faster. When a wife dies after decades of marriage the husband often dies soon after. For some reason women tend to do better long term on their own than men do. Maybe not as much in the up coming generations but definetly mine and those before me.
Fear can be crippling. Life keeps moving and changing whether we want it too or not. We are stronger than we know.

Accept what is...let go of what was and have faith in what will be.
