Widowed Men - Support for Young Widowed Men

Widowed Men

My name is Phil , and I became a single mother in October 2008. I can give you an exact date, as it was when my wife Helen died of cancer when she was only 40. But in practice , the process of being a single mother was a progressive, which began 12 months ago, when the cancer is first diagnosed widowed men.

Our girls were 8 and 11 when Helen died , but only had known for five years and a half , when we adopt widowed men. Given what we have experienced so far and in their young lives - the circumstances that led to his being removed by social services from their parents at birth.

Then spend time in foster care (which widowed men, in spite of love and structured was never going to be as temporary) after losing her adoptive mom - girls were and are "normal" people and very balanced you would never have guessed without being told what they had experienced.

Widowed Men: Are You Widowed?

I reduced my working hours to fit around school and roped grandparents and friends to help cover the school holidays could not. This is not the way I would have chosen in life, and it certainly was not easy, but widowed men... things worked , and I dare say even liked - it was a privilege to spend much more time with my daughters and get much closer to them than had been the case , if Helen had always been there to share the responsibilities .

Of course , I'm wrong , I miss having someone to talk about parenting issues , to decide where to go on vacation next year , which had tea today, etc, but a great help in all this was my membership form (widows and young) - an organization of people who were under 50 when their partner dies. PATH is a national widowed men, but regional subgroups .
