Naturally, living here as a widower in The Villages would not bring the same happiness as living with my spouse and I don't believe The Villages offers the same lifestlye for singles. I feel so terribly sad when I see a lady / gentleman eating by themselves in a restaurant / walking the dog by themselves or just being isolated from the rest of the community since they are a recent / current widower.
**Not saying that all widoweres are lonely or isolated**, but unfortunately life dramatically changes when one loses their spouse and living here in The Villages would never be the same.
I'd sincerely enjoy any feedback from current / recent widowers on how you deal and how life has changed living in The Villages after your loss. Thanks

I have thought about this way too often. You know I don't think so. I would take our daughter and move back to where ever our other daughter will land when they retire.
My heart aches for our friends who are widowed and especially during this Pandemic. I think of them and hold them close to my heart. It is so hard losing the love of your life.
