Elaine Roth lost her husband Matt in February 2018, when he was just 40 years old
Elaine Roth had only just sat down when she realized that the restaurant she and her date had chosen for the night was quite familiar to her.
It’s reminders like that — some more obvious than others — that never quite let Roth forget that since Matt’s February 2018 death, she’s forged ahead on a life path she never expected: that of a young widow., just 1.2 percent of the nearly 12 million widows in the country are under the age of 39.Roth found her picture-perfect life twisted into a statistic just about 20 months after Matt, 40, was first diagnosed with glioblastoma, a rare brain cancer, in June 2016.
“I remember right when Matt died, I was like, ‘Oh my god, now I’m the only one who remembers this way that we met and this experience that we had together,” she says. “[I remember feeling], ‘Will I ever feel wholly happy, will I be happy?'”As she recalls, that feeling was “very much” along the lines of, “I’m never going to be happy again. Nothing is ever going to look the same or feel the same again.
Part of that growth, too, is learning to push forward when it comes to her love life — something Roth reluctantly began embracing last spring when she entered the world of online dating.“I’ve been afraid of, ‘What are people gonna think? Are they gonna be happy? Are they gonna understand that I still love Matt, and I’m dating?’” she says.
