Online Dating for Young Widows and Widowers in the UK

At Widows & Widowers UK, it is our number one goal to help you connect with other young widows and widowers in a space designed just for you. Dating after loss is a fresh start and can be the ideal pathway to a lasting and fulfilling relationship, rich with its own unique qualities. Meeting somebody who can relate to what you have been through helps build a shared sense of understanding, which can lead to a romance in its own special way.

I'm going on my fourth date at the weekend with someone I've met on this site. Thank you for the great site & safe dating environment you provide.
Carol, 07 September 2025
The profile process is great, and very thorough, and being specific about what you're looking for makes it easy to see who's a match for you. We had a 90% match rate, and once we started talking it was clear that we were destined to be together, and this platform gave us the nudge we both needed. I can't thank you enough, I can honestly say that I have never been happier.
