I am still married. I’m just doing this part of our marriage without him by my side. If it’s a customer, I sometimes just talk in the present tense like he’s still here; but otherwise I tell people I’m a widow.

I’m not a widow, but I did have a boyfriend die. And I eventually got tired of bringing down the energy of the conversation with it. So I did stop telling people when they asked. I just say “I didn’t work out” ..and that’s the truth. It keeps the conversation moving on to the next thing.

I'm 17 months out- I will always say I'm widowed- you asked, you're gonna get the answer. They don't expect it when I'm in my 40's but here we are.

I just say I’m a widow because people will ask me where the kids’ mom is. It just gets it out of the way.

grieve as long as you need. don't let anyone tell you differently. Grief doesn't have a timeline.

It’s weird for me now that I’ve started dating. I’ve been with him since December and referring to my late husband feels strange to me

My husband passed way almost 2 years ago and I always say my husband passed way and they do the exact thing you said “oh my, you’re so young, that’s so sad” I just say “yeah”

I haven’t taken my wedding ring off. Probably never will. That and my RBF keeps the masses at bay. Also I just say I’m married and it doesn’t feel like a lie, maybe I’m just lying to myself.

Just blurt it out. You’re going through a world of pain and if their afternoon is ruined because you chose to tell them straight up, they can deal. It’s not your responsibility to console them and it’s not your responsibility to filter yourself when you’re grieving.
