You're in a Serious Relationship with a Widower. Now what?
Loving a widower isn't like dating someone who's divorced or simply single. You're stepping into a story that began before you and which hasn't fully ended. His late wife lingers in his heart, his home, and sometimes in the eyes of his kids, family, and friends. So how do you know if he's ready to love again? If he is, how do you build a future together without getting lost in the past? This honest, practical guide gives you the clarity and confidence to deal with the special challenges associated with dating a widower. Inside, you'll discover:- How to tell if he's emotionally available or mired in sorrow
- When to be patient and when to walk away.
- How to handle his kids, in-laws, and friends who might not be ready for you.
- What to do with the late wife's belongings.
- How to create your own space, your own relationship, and your own future.
- How to protect your heart without shutting down.
Written by remarried widower and relationship coach Abel Keogh, this book delivers no-nonsense advice and hard-won insight from someone who's been there and helped thousands of women get the answers they need. It also includes over 20 stories from women who have traveled this journey. If you're tired of second-guessing where you stand and ready to find out whether your relationship with a widower has a future, this book will show you the way forward.
