Widow’s Fire 101

What is Widow’s Fire?

Widow’s Fire is the burning desire for intimacy following the death of a partner or spouse. It impacts many widows and widowers, although not every widowed person will experience it. There is little data on the quantitative figures as the topic is often misunderstood and sometimes seen as taboo.

Why does it happen?

Unfortunately, there are little studies on Widow’s Fire. As one of the largest Widow’s Fire Communities in the world, our work has uncovered certain insights around it. If you were in a strong relationship, it’s natural to want to recreate that again. The loss of one’s partner leaves an incredible void of intimacy and the jolt into being single can often trigger the Fire.

Who feels the Widow’s Fire?

Regardless of age, gender, or sexual preference, Widow’s Fire can hit anyone at any time during their grief. Some widowed individuals feel it even before their partner has passed, in the event of an illness or prolonged struggle. Others feel it shortly after their spouse passes, or even years later. 

What are the symptoms?

For those who feel the “fire” there is an uncontrollable urge for physical and emotional connection with another person. Some people experience a deep longing unlike anything they’ve ever felt. It can feel very lonely and make one question their true desires. Many widowed people are taken completely off guard by their Widow’s Fire.

I'm Julia

your Widow's Fire Host.

Julia grew up in Toronto, Canada, and moved to the UK at 23 after falling in love with a chivalrous Englishman. Life turned upside down in 2018, widowed with a newborn baby at 31 while living in London. Determined to build a new life, addicted to distractions and travel to stay on the move, she swiped across every dating app, put herself “out there” any way she could, found herself in flings and relationships, short and long, observing all that comes with exploring new connections, dating after death, breakups and new goodbyes.

It became obvious that the purpose and meaning she could bring to the world is by being the honest voice of a romantic young widow, a believer in life and love after loss. Julia created a space for those who feel the Fire.

She found her way back to Toronto, Canada, and lives with her son and dog, enjoying an unexpected life as an actor, dancer, writer, and Widow’s Fire expert.

Julia is the founder and creator of the Worldwide Widow’s Fire Community & Dating site.
