Nicky Wake lost her husband Andy in 2020 after 16 years of marriage, but rather than get wrapped up in self pity, she set out to help widows like her by creating a dating platform just for them. It comes after she tried other dating sites - and "had some fun dates", but was sent "inappropriate" photographs.
Now Nicky has created what she says is "much more than a dating app". She says 'Chapter 2' has become "a community” widows and widowers.
The 52-year-old met Andy, who died aged 57, in 2002 and they got hitched two years later and welcomed their son Finn in 2007. But in 2017, Andy starting suffering from chest pains and it was revealed he’d had a heart attack, she told the Mirror.
