Founder
Andy founded Widowed Singles Near Me to give widows and widowers a gentle, friendly place to meet people who understand. Andy also writes the articles on our blog, which cover things like knowing when you are ready, writing a profile and staying safe.
What we stand for
Kindness, trust and a pace that feels respectful rather than rushed.

Real people you can trust
We offer optional ID verification, privacy tools, blocking and reporting, and our support team is available 24/7. How we keep you safe.
No pressure
