My name is Widow. I became Widow in 2017 when I lost the love of my life. I spiraled into a storm of grief that destroyed life as I knew it.   It’s been six years and I am sharing my story in hopes that it will help me reclaim my true identity and find a new version of a happy life. I hope that my experiences will help others struggling to recover from their own grief and loss.

I had a hard time coming up with a name for this page.  My first thought was Widow’s Walk (for reasons I’ll explain later).  Of course, it was taken.  I sometimes wonder if you ever get the first name you try.  Then, I tried Widow Search. It sounded like some macabre dating site.  The next in line was Destined to Be a Widow.  I almost paid the money for this one. I’m glad I didn’t.  It makes me cringe a bit. You’ll learn more about this one a little later too.  Finally, I decided this was going to be my online home so why not Widow’s House? It was available and it works for me. This house will grow and change as I do. I hope you’ll join me on this journey by checking out my BLOG and other features as they are added to the site. I feel like I should insert Metallica’s “Welcome Home (Sanitarium)” here. Maybe because it fits. Maybe because it was one of my Husband’s favorite songs. Either way, Welcome Home!

Just in case you’re having difficulty navigating the site…
