Dating a widower comes with unique challenges that you won’t encounter when dating a single or divorced man. For the relationship to work, the widower will have to put his feelings for his late wife to the side and focus on you. But how do you know if he’s ready to take this step?

Drawing on his own experience as a remarried widower, Abel Keogh provides unique insight and guidance into the hearts and minds of widowers, including:

  • Why widowers date so soon after their late wife dies
  • How to know if the widower is ready to make room in his heart for you
  • Red flags that indicate widowers aren’t ready for commitment
  • How to set and maintain healthy relationship boundaries with widowers

Dating a Widower is your guide to having a successful relationship with a man who’s starting over. It also contains 22 real-life stories from women who have gone down the same road you’re traveling. It’s the perfect book to help you decide if the man you’re seeing is ready for a new relationship - and whether dating a widower is right for you.

I throughly enjoyed this book with its insight to a widower’s thoughts and views of dealing with losing a loved one and opening their heart to someone else. I love how the writer constantly appreciated the feelings and views that the new woman would have entering the relationship as well. Great read:)

Wonderful insight

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.

great book. take out of it what you can use

Really enjoyed this book, and hearing other people’s experiences dating a widower. It even opened my eyes to a few things for myself as a 35 year old widow.

I’m a widow as well

This Book was so on point with the relationship I just got out of with a widower. It sounded like he was reading my story . I couldn't believe how accurate he was with everything my widower said and did. I am heartbroken over the breakup but this book has helped me understand so many things . it has given me the closure I needed to move on that I'll never get from my ex. It doesn't make the pain anyless but it confirms that what I was feeling during the relationship about how I was being treated as always being second and compared to a ghost. the shrine of pictures everywhere, the fb posts. I was constantly being hurt and when I mentioned my feelings, I was told I was jealous and crazy for feeling that way . It's a relief to know I wasn't the one with the problem. Thank you so much Abel, you saved me from the constant thoughts about what did I do wrong and how can I fix it.

Amazing Bòok...Must read!

I was going out with a widower at the time I listened to the book and it was sooo helpful. Very clear, very insightful and it shows you which are the red flags you should worry about and which things are just a normal process for a man who's lost his wife. Worth listening twice!

It was so on point!

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, good narration

This is my second dating-a-widow book. I found it confirmed what the first book said but to hear it from a widower’s perspective was most helpful.

My only complaint is I wish the stories coming from a woman be read in a woman’s voice. My brain had a hard time reconciling words from a female yet hearing a male voice.
Overall, an excellent book.

Spot on!
