We corresponded through Senior Match for a week then swapped email addresses and corresponded for about a week, then long life telling phone calls every night for about two weeks.

We are the same age and both widowed. We formed our own support group in the evenings that relieved a lot of emotions. The shock of losing a spouse is short lived but then loneliness sets in. Emotions are held within and the slightest thing can trigger a emotional upset. You tend to mask your emotions until you are alone unless something triggers a dear memory. We both feel some divine guidance was involved as well as Senior Match. We are building a new stage in life together and it feels good. Memories of our spouses will always be cherished and we both freely talk about them. We both put on our Senior Match that responses or winks to be within 150 miles. Distance is only travel time which seniors have plenty of. Together people can solve logistics. She winked at me from 750 miles away and it worked. I hope other people don't limit their responses by distance. Romance is out there so reach out for it and talk about life before worrying about distance. We plan to be married in the near future! The Lord taketh away and also givith. Thanks be to the Lord.
