About

Founder of Widow / Widower Dating. WWD was created on 02-AUG-2007. I decided to retire completely in 2023 (See the blog entry "An Official Goodbye"), after giving WWD to it's new owner, and my future wife, who I met on WWD, Bonnie Drowningindoghair. I gave the organization to Bonnie about a year before I retired completely. I assisted as an Admin during that time. Now, the only thing I do is post the blog entries for Bonnie. I wish you all success at finding your new love here as I have.

Navigating the New Horizon: Dating as a Widow or Widower by Tony Mayer

You aren't "moving on"—you are moving forward. Moving forward doesn't mean forgetting; it means carrying your love for your late spouse in one hand and the possibility of new joy in the other. Trust your own heart over the expectations of friends or family.

Finding Love Again After Loss by Tony Mayer (& Gemini AI)

When you do feel ready to explore the possibility of a new relationship, it's normal to encounter a whirlwind of emotions. You might find joy in new connections, but also moments of sadness or even guilt about moving forward. Be patient and compassionate with yourself. These feelings are valid and a natural part of the process.
