It's Saturday night, and I'm a widow, and I miss being married and I miss love.

Honey, only a couple years younger than you, husband still alive and kicking but pretty much he ignores me, starting to act like an old man watching TV hour after hour and working out in the garage.... so not so sure our lives are so much different!

And I'm not even that old. I'm 60, and in excellent health and height/weight proportionate, but despite my many prayers and efforts with online dating, I haven't had one date in four years.

I'm just feeling so alone tonight.

I've been through so much in the last four years. My husband killed himself in 2016, and two years later, a medical mistake killed ME, and I got to see heaven, but then I was told that I had to go back to earth...

I would love to find a man that could just hold me, so I could remember what that feels like.

Being alone is tough.

For those who believe in prayer, I'd be grateful for your prayers that God might send me someone to love.

Me too. Same story.

I divorced my husband a couple of years back after over 30 years of marriage and am not far off your age. I get it that sometimes you get lonely. I guess the difference is that I'm not looking for love - I figured I would go it alone after my marriage dissolved, and if love ever found me again I wouldn't run the other way, but I'm not looking. The embarrassment of being divorced is actually worse than being alone - people just figure I am part of the First Wives' Club or something, and it's embarrassing to me because it's the only thing I've ever failed at. Other people just automatically think you should be looking for another husband. Make sure that you really want a husband and not because of social pressure to be married. That being said, I have discovered the world is full of lonely people - make some friends. There isn't a day where I cannot call up some friend and ask if they want to go out and eat or to a movie or on a hike. Get a dog or cat to snuggle at night if you need the warmth.

Not trying to turn you against marriage or anything, but there really are a lot of worse things than being single. You have total control of your life; you have control of your money; you can come and go when you want; you do not have to cook or clean or do laundry for somebody else; if you want to take a road trip you can - no having to clear it with a spouse; if you need to work late at the office, there's nobody complaining about your being late. Single life is really a much more free life.

If you are meant to be married again, Mr. Right will come knocking on his own. You don't need to go out looking for him. There are a lot of single older men out there - I've discovered that already. He'll show up when you least expect it.

Thanks. I guess I just don’t want to feel quite so alone in this world.

And yes, I am a real person. My husband killed himself in the spring of 2018, and I had an NDE in fall of 2018.

It’s been a very intense time and I miss being someone’s beloved partner.

Where do you live, OP?

I was widowed at 45. Being widowed and being divorced are two entirely different things. All my divorced friends sound like you. I would give anything for one more day with my beloved.
