Just wondering if anyone else here is in the same boat? My husband died in a motorcycle accident 2 years ago while I was 8 weeks pregnant. It is always so hard to find anyone who can relate to my situation (In real life and on CM or any other sites) and lord knows I've looked haha!
Hi momma, so sorry for your loss :( my dh died on the 4th of July, 2011. I'm just now starting to look at dating again & I started counseling in Dec. So far, I'm liking therapy & kinda wish I would have done it sooner.
Well I'm glad there are others out there, I find it hard to relate to other single moms because I never went through a divorce or any of that. And that's usually what people assume when you say your child's dad isn't around. Not saying that divorce is any more/less difficult, it's just a whole different ball park.
Achavez219 - Do you see a therapist or go to a support group? Just curious :)
I totally agree. Sometimes its hard to explain the reason they aren't around & then there's that awkward silence because they don't know how to respond.
I'm currently seeing a therapist & she's great. Since my dh commited suicide, its a bit different but I love the fact that she does grief counseling & she's not one to prescribe medications like others do (especially since she diagnosed me with PTSD).

I just moved into a new house and of course my new neighbors were pretty nosy about where my husband is so I had to break down and tell them. I think I always take people off guard because I don't get upset about it anymore when I talk about it and they always expect you to be the grieving widow.
Maybe I'll look into someone like that. Thanks :)
