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.
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.
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.
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.

Absolutely. We are proud to have such equal parts men and women in our community. At least 50% of our members are men who were widowed. Men find the Widow’s Fire Community a very supportive, open environment. Oftentimes, in their day to day lives, men have found it hard to discuss intimacy following the death of a partner. Widow’s Fire changes that for men with tons of open discussion, the ability to meet new friends, and even a potential partner. We’ve had men get engaged and marry a new love, all through our trusted community. Men also greatly value our online sessions where they can hear from other men and share stories. Bottom line: Widow’s Fire is not just for women.
We charge a membership fee to join. Once you’re in, you get access to all members, 1:1 chats, member keyword search, group discussions on a wide range of topics, helpful resources and even virtual meetings.

There is no guarantee of finding love anywhere in this world. Everyone who joins is here because they lost someone important to them. Some of our members have gone on to find new life partners and others have built long-lasting friendships. Some rely on the community for feedback and advice as they continue to date offline. The possibilities are endless and if you feel the fire, you open yourself up to those possibilities by joining the community.
