Everytime I add an iWidget, eventually when I open my phone again it is always gone and I have to re add it. Is anyone else's like this? I'm on iPhone 6 Plus iOS 8.1
 
The next time it disappears try a respring and see if it returns.

I have that happen on occasion and it's usually after I've been playing with adding and removing a few tweaks. A respring brings it back.

However, I'm on 7.1.2, so that alone could be the difference.
 
Its not even when I reboot. I could just be using an app and close out of it and the widget would be gone. Other times I put my phone to sleep by pressing the power button, come back to use it and it is gone.

Try different widgets to see if all of them do it.
 
Do you have any tweaks that enable home screen rotation? If your home screen flips to horizontal, I widgets will disappear.

My 6 plus does have landscape on but even if i turn it the iwidget is still there, its just not even but is still there. And when I rotate back it is still there. It just randomly disappears. I will try adding it again and see how long it lasts. I've tried several different iWidgets that disappear. Also sometimes when I add the iWidget and go into wiggle mode it won't let me move it anywhere.
