Story
Men and women grieve differently. Though both feel the pain and sorrow that come with losing a spouse, widowers start dating much sooner than widows - usually within the first year of their wife's passing. While there's nothing wrong with dating again that quickly, widowers often get into relationships before they're emotionally ready to take that step. That causes problems for them and the women they're with. That's where The Ultimate Dating Guide for Widowers comes in.

Story
Studies keep showing that love after 50 is more satisfying than at any other stage in life, and it makes sense: At this stage, you are more emotionally stable and more focused on the present; you know what you absolutely have to have, but also what you can live without; partnering is no longer about building family and fortune — it’s about sharing intimacy as grounded individuals. And sex isn’t pass/fail anymore, but about becoming erotic friends.

Men give their undivided attention to those who respect them. If a man doesn't feel respected while communicating with you, he'll find the respect he needs elsewhere. The woman who knows how to communicate with men can influence the man she wants without resorting to "that mini-skirt he loves." A man craves the attention of a graceful woman who knows exactly what to say to him, when to say it, and, most importantly, how to say it to get what she wants.

The greatest fear I had during my grieving was that I was losing control, going crazy, and might make decisions that would harm myself, my family, and my friends. This included suicidal thoughts, which scared the hell out of me. I was desperate to find answers. Quickly, I found those answers would be hard to find, as resources for widowers are minimal and often of dubious value. In Widower to Widower, I've compiled the most vital information I could find on the widower experience into one book, so the listener does not have to search as hard as I had to do.

Did you know that men secretly use texting as a way to "pre-screen" a woman’s romantic value? A woman’s texting habits can reveal a lot about her self-worth, confidence, intelligence, and even her level of class and emotional maturity. Because guys covertly appraise a woman’s relationship potential this way, many women often have no idea that the way they communicate via text is actually sending the wrong message and thus, they unknowingly end up chasing men away.

Great book, good narration
I thought this book was very well written and informative. Especially when entering a relationship with a widower. it gives good feedback om what it acceptable when you question if you are not trying to be cold or unsympathetic. I really like the boundaries and red flags. My favorite part though was listening to all the other stories.

great book. take out of it what you can use
I had to accept his suggestions and use what will work for me. my widower was married 35 years. I don't feel he should have to take all her pictures down. she was his wife for over half his life. she was a part of him that made him who he was today. He did take pictures out of the bedroom and moved his wedding ring to middle finger after a discussion. yes he created the solution to his widower problem and is currently making actions to let her go and making me first.

Amazing assistance with dating my widower
I started dating a beautiful kind and respectful widower a couple of months ago and although I always feel like number one in his life and his heart there were some topics I needed help with as I’ve never dated a widower before and none of my girlfriends did either. The book was very succinct and to the point, greatly narrated and I really enjoyed it and learnt a lot. I listened to it twice and will probably listen to it again to refresh. Thank you Abel for sharing your story.
