There are a lot of dating apps out there. Only a few are specifically targeted at widowers and widows. Let’s face it: widowers and widows are a vulnerable group. Sometimes we don’t even know what we want and that can make us easy to prey on. The Widow’s Fire Community is a special, unique place in that we’re a dating community, not just an app. This isn’t a situation where you have to swipe and swipe in order to match with someone and even then you’re not sure if they’re real or a bot. It’s the exact opposite. It’s an open space where we are all screened and then can all see each other in an open, safe space, and that is rare in dating communities.

What is Widow’s Fire?

Widow’s Fire is the burning desire for intimacy following the death of a spouse. It’s a deep longing for connection, for sexual encounters, for energy and for love. It’s a response to the gaping hole that was left after the loss of a partner or spouse.

What is the Widow’s Fire Community?

We are www.widowsfire.com, a community of like-minded widowers and widows who have all suffered a tremendous loss. The desire for intimacy and connection unites us all. The Widow’s Fire Community was created as a safe space for widowed individuals to go and meet each other, seek advice, and answer their burning questions about desire.

What makes it different from other dating apps for widows?

A lot! Although we happen to share a name with another widowed dating app, that one is just for casual hookups. We don’t have any spammers, bots or scammers. We pride ourselves on authenticity and we screen every new member. Current members also help flag and report anyone who may have slipped through the cracks, although this is very rare.

How does it work?

We are an open space. Once you’re in, you can converse with any of our many members from around the world. There are open discussions, visible to all members, as well as private 1:1 discussions you can engage in. We offer resources, group chats, and video calls. But most of all, we offer community and a safe space. 

Is it worth it? 

Our members have nothing but rave reviews for us. The membership fee is one-time only and once you’re in, members state how the community has helped them feel less alone and make more meaningful connections. In a recent survey, 100% of our members stated they are relieved to find the Widow’s Fire Community and others who feel the same way they do. And, over 90% of our members say our community is the best online source for helping them understand their craving for intimacy.

What about those other dating apps?

We’ve put ourselves “out there” on other dating apps and, in our search, we’ve simply found that our community for dating is a much richer experience than just an app. There are some apps that are filled with bots and scammers. This makes them a scary place for widowed individuals. Some of our members have even tried matchmakers and even escorts. So, no matter where you are looking for love, we find that the Widow’s Fire Community is an excellent resource to have even if you are navigating other dating tools. Our members can hop on and share stories about their experiences on these other platforms and get first hand advice or empathy from fellow wids.
