I was approached by a Widowhood group online to share my experiences dating a widower, and eventually marrying him. A member of this group was struggling with whether to stay or leave the relationship, and it was eye-opening to hear the members' struggles. I came up with these tips to help them understand the complexities a bit better. Experience is the best teacher, and after almost nine years, I've learned some valuable lessons about dating and marrying a widower.
