b-'45', w-'96'; I miss him terribly. I don't grieve for him any more. There's just an empty hollow feeling inside that doesn't seem to go away. I have 2 grown, independent sons on their own. I help my friend operate a small Bible based, Christian home school program. My hobby is photography.

b-'49, m-'98', w-'99', no children, Presbyterian, Caucasian, 185 lbs., 6'2", Bible study every Wednesday night, speak fluent German, play tennis, like the beach and outdoors, trying to become more computer literate; enjoy family life and miss female company very much. My wife was so very family oriented and I miss that so very much. I'm a lawyer but don't hold that against me. I would very much enjoy hearing from anyone who has advice on how to cope with my loss and how to overcome the tremendous loneliness and emptyness that now exists.

b-'53'. I have 3 1/2 children (3 my own and 1 step), 2 boys ('78' & '80'), 2 girls ('84' & '81'), and a brand new granddaughter, 8/01. My 2nd wife, true soulmate and the best friend I have ever had, died 1/26/98. My 1st wife and mother of my son and 2 girls died very suddenly on 7/1/01. To make it worse, it was on my oldest son's birthday. I was saved 3 months after my 2nd wife and soulmate died. Those first few months were the worse times in my life to say the least. But after I came to believe in our Lord Yeshua (Jesus) things really started getting better and better. The ache will never go away, it just gets smoother to deal with. But for me, the ache now is a good thing. It keeps her very alive in my heart and mind. Also, surfing helps me alot. Something about surfing on G-Ds' waves puts things just right for me. On Oct. 3, 01, my 23 yr old was shipped to the Pakistan area which worries me, but he too is a believer. I know that G-D will be with him. Well I'm looking for a female e-pal to share thougths on day to day problems, any help I can be in the grieving process, and most importantly spiritual matters. I am pre-trib, but because it is a secondary issue I can listen to other views without being rude! May Grace be with you from our Lord YESHUA! (Pray for the peace of Jerusalem! and America!)

b-'41', m-'58', w-'94'. Born in OH, and am the 8th child of 14. Moved to MD after I got married, and raised my children there. Moved to CA in '74', and have been here since. God put me here, and I cannot leave until He says so. My husband and I were in the music ministry, teaching and preaching the Word, and taking Kids off the street. I use to teach multiple subjects. I also taught computer programs starting with DOS on the old IBM's. I don't date, and am not looking for anyone at this time. Unless Jesus brings some one into my life, that is completely out. I'm 5' 2", blonde, and blue eyes .

Pauline: e-mail
b-'36', w-'2/01'. I am a Southern Baptist and love the Lord. My husband died less than 2 months after being diagnosed with cancer. I just can't seem to get on with life. He retired 11 years, and we were together all the time. He was a Deacon in our church and taught adult Sunday School for 17 years. I also taught 4/5 year olds for several years and then 3rd-5th grade. I am not teaching now. I have 7 children, 37-52 years old. The 2 oldest are step children, but we raised them. I have 17 grand children and 4 great grandchildren. We are a very close family, but I am still so alone. I don't think I can ever stop grieving for him. I have days that I just want to give up and join him. I haven't worked, since I was a stay at home mom. My husband didn't want me to work. I read Christian novels; I love Jannette Oke books. I like Southern gospel music and country gospel. I do ceramics and have small business in my home. I sew and crochet some. I also love to cook and bake. I have a daughter who goes to a Nazarene church, a daughter who goes to a Pentecostal church, a son who belongs to a New Reformed church, and the others goe to Baptist churches. We all love the Lord.

w-'5/02'. My wife, Patricia Ann died of depression and Graves disease. A diverticulitus operation was not good. She had blood clots form in her legs. Her words will ring in my ears for years, "You'll never find someone who will love you more then I do." There are a lot of sites on the internet that are labelled Christian, but I want to be in the correct place. I had a tumor taken off my brain in '99', and the things that I experienced will help me to minister to others. I would like to have someone who would be compatible with me. I play guitar and string bass and sing.

b-'49', w-'6/02' He was the love of my life and did everything together. We had just recently hired a personal trainer and were working out together. We love to take walks, ride our bikes, travel and just be together. He was an accountant and an Elvis impersonator. He was a handsome, gentle, Godly man who I don't know how I'm going to live without. I'm an Esthetician (skin and body specialist). I have one granddaughter '89' and a grandson on the way. I have a daughter '70' and a son '74'. I have a big Italian family and we do a lot of things together. My family and my church family have been very supportive; however, I cry day and night and don't understand why the Lord took my husband away from me. I miss him so much I can't sleep or eat. I guess I really don't want to be here without him. I have my children and my family but My Frankie was my best friend, my lover, my everything. Will I survive this loss?

Barbara: e-mail
b-'40', m-'62', w-'89'. 2 children, '63', '67'; 3 grandchildren, '87', '89', '91'. I was Blessed to have had a dedicated Christian marriage for 27 happy and fulfilling years. My husband and I were active in our Community Church for 20 years. Following my husbandŐs death, I managed to keep 'busy' with my focus upon family, church, career, higher education, etc. I enjoy travel, live theatre, concerts, music, arts, crafts, and the sharing in activities with Christian friends. Together, we had planned and looked forward to our retirement years. Now, with the current reality, I am alone looking forward to and planning 'my' retirement. If you are visiting this site and can relate to my current situation with empathy, I would appreciate hearing from you via e-mail/chat.

b-'59', m-'78', w-'01'. My husband was my very best friend. We had a wonderful and happy 23-year marriage until his death after a 7-month battle with cancer. We did everything together. I am so thankful for our 2 sons '80' & '82'. They are in the Army, stationed in Alabama and Hawaii. I attend and am very active in a small Baptist church nearby. Everyone has been so supportive. My interests are: making new friends, my dogs, reading, gardening, hiking, quilting, crocheting, visiting museums and attending concerts, musicals and plays. I enjoy many activities with my friends as well. But, I am still the only widow that I know. The death of my husband was the most life-changing event in my life. I am hoping to communicate with other Christians who have also lost a spouse.

Cyndi: e-mail
b-'55', w-'91'. 3 children '76', '80', & '88' (all boys). My husband died suddenly; it was such a shock to us. One day we were a complete family, and then the next day a part of "us" had gone home. We still miss him, and over the years I know my boys missed growing up with a father. But God has seen us through, and we have never had to go without. Today I work at a college; one of my sons is still living at home and in high school. I serve the lord by working with others who are in 12-step programs as I am. Today I know I am blessed. I don't ask God why, I thank him, even for the pain because I know he loves me and that everything happens for a reason, according to his divine plan. Who knows what's next? I do know that I will see my husband again one day. How awesome is that? Love to you all.

b-'65', m-'11/02', w-'4/03'. I met my husband Clark via ChristianMatchmakers.com at end of May 2002. ALthough our marriage was not as long as most, it was such quality as we had both come from very difficult marriages that ended in divorce because our prior spouses fell out of love with us.

Fay: e-mail
b-'38', w-'99'. I am just looking for friendship & campanionship. I love to sing. My husband & I sang in church together & I miss that & him. I love going to Church & fellowshipping with other people, although I am rather shy. So, if anyone can relate to this, I will look forward to hearing from you.
