I am a wife of a widower aka WOW. 5 years ago I married my husband, the only husband I have ever had. I was 24 at the time, young and so in love and when I found out his 1st wife had died of cancer, that he had 3 little girls (5,7,8) at the time, I felt like I could take the world on, love them uncondtionally and help heal the hurt. When I first came into the picture, the entire family was lost. I did a lot of research and even attended counseling to figure out how to be what my husband and his children needed.
