The topic nobody talks about: sex after becoming a widow

Widowhood changes so many parts of life, but one thing I rarely see discussed is sexuality.

For widows who have had sex again after losing their spouse: what was that journey like?

Did you miss physical affection before you missed sex? Did you feel nervous or guilty the first time? Did you discover new things about yourself? Did intimacy become more important, less important, or just different?

I’d love to hear honest experiences — the emotional side, the awkward side, and the parts people don’t usually say out loud.
