It will be a year the 29th of my husbands death. I have not dated. But I have become very close to our he lived with us and helped me through everything since my husband passed away. I don't think dating really has crossed my mind.

I was widowed at 32, and I started dating 3 months after my husband's death and I didn't mean to I wasn't out looking it just kind of happend. Of course everybody around me in our circle of friends and in his family said that was to soon for me to date. There never will be a right time or appropriate time to his family or friends. I'm just letting you know now before your are faced with that. You will know when you are ready and if you're thinking about it then you probably are ready. But it's up to you and only you to decide that! Dating has been great since then, it's very different because you are used to your spouse not someone else. When I started dating it felt like a new life had been breathed into me I felt like a teenager again and I know that sounds crazy but it's true. I absolutely loved and adored my husband. And I will always love and cherish every moment we had together. But he left me to soon and I wasn't willing to curl up and die alone at age 32.

I was 25 when my husband passed. He passed on April 6,2012. I officially started dating my current boyfriend on July 27th 2012 I started dating my current boyfriend. He lets me grieve, gives me space and is even going to support groups with me. I also lost a lot of friends, they thinking it was too soon. I don't live or miss him any less, I just needed to live also.

I lost my husband in 2011 ., I started going out right after ., I guess in a way I was looking to find someone
That was like him., I met a lot of people but no one even compare to who he has., I learn to stop comparing people to him ., I've dated n it feels good to get notice., to feel wanted .. U feel it ., u know when is time to date ., don't worry about people .theyre going to always talk whether u do good or bad ., make sure you're happy

LESBIAN ..GAY 2 SPIRITED loss and grief
Anyone who has lost their gay partner..soon finds that there may be a few things that are different...such as sorting through things and feeling like an intruder because it is also family stuff etcSee More
Assumptions
An assumption is an unexamined belief: what is thought to be true without ever really realizing that we think in that way. For better or worse, understanding starts with entertaining the idea that something is true. Truly profound thoughts generally come to light from the relaxation of these (flawed) assumptions. This is where I find myself today...Perhaps, one of the more significant drivers to pushing down the loss and grief at the time of the accident, ignoring it and mindlessly walking…See More
