After the initial shock, grief and heartache in losing your life partner and having your life irrevocably change, we inevitably take steps to move forward and find new meaning in life. Chapter 2 can be friendship, companionship, dating or physical comfort, it means different things to different people. Chapter 2 is a community exclusively for widows and widowers with a forum, blog, advice and resources. Chapter 2 is a safe and secure platform to meet and communicate with other widows and widowers.
You can exchange messages within the platform without sharing personal data. Never, ever share passwords, log in details or credit card information. We are only as good as our members so we ask everyone to be open, authentic, honest and decent. Never ever give or offer money to anyone you meet online.
If anyone asks you for cash please block and report them so we can remove them from our community. Once you have been chatting in Chapter 2, it may be a good idea to exchange social media profiles and we highly recommend a video call ahead of meeting someone in person to help you verify who they are. Always arrange a first meeting in a public place.
It often makes sense to meet soonish rather than spend months messaging as it can help you rule someone in or out.
Often people are different online than in person. Be cautious. Do not click on any links anyone sends you and never give passwords, credit card or bank details. The platform is a safe and secure space which is only open to widows and widowers. We recognise that as widows we can be vulnerable and so the platform has a rigorous sign-up process, all profiles are vetted and users can report any suspicious activity, messages or behaviour.
