At Widows & Widowers Australia, it is our number one goal to help you connect with other senior widows and widowers in a space designed just for you. Dating after becoming widowed is not like other forms of dating - it is a set of circumstances you didn't choose or expect. Therefore, the need to connect with others who understand what you are experiencing is key. At Widows & Widowers Australia, we provide the ideal conditions for genuine friendships to form and true relationships to flourish.
As a senior widow or widower, you may like the idea of meeting somebody who can relate to your loss. Having spent many years with your previous partner, it is only natural that the reality of being single again can come as a surprise. Allowing yourself plenty of time to grieve is paramount, ensuring you go through the necessary emotions related to your loss.
Lifestyle changes, including getting used to no longer being in a couple, can be a sensitive period. As time goes on, you may come to feel the need to have somebody new in your life; somebody with whom you can share the ebb and flow of day-to-day living. Connecting with other senior widows and widowers is a great way to form new acquaintances and expand your social life.
Getting started on Widows & Widowers Australia is simple. Once you've registered, you can select your interests and write a short profile, sharing a bit about yourself.
