Dating After Bereavement
Watch this postI would be interested to see what other people think about dating after a bereavement. Should I even consider dating again, or would that be disloyal to my late partner? I know someone who started dating less than six months after her husband died, and I know other people who never dated again.

I have friends who have also lost their husbands and will never date again,but I feel that it is upto the individual and their happiness is what comes first.
You do only get one chance at life and it needs to be how you would like it to be,
not be governed by what people think.

But even now, feeling lost and empty, I cannot imagine spending the rest of my days alone. Maybe I will, time will tell.
One day it will all be over, but there has to hope. Certainly there will be feelings of guilt and disloyalty, but there are all those other feelings too.
