After a loved one passes away, widows and widowers may feel as though they will never love again. It may take you a long time to get over your former spouse because you did not have any say in this parting. But, as time progresses, you may find yourself ready to find love or companionship again.
It’s logical that you may feel as if dating is a betrayal of your former love. Just because you are dating someone new does not mean you no longer love your former spouse. Dealing with feelings of guilt and betrayal is a normal part of the grieving process. Talk through your emotions with friends, family or a therapist.
If you find yourself looking around at other people or feel ready to rebuild your life, you may be ready to try dating again. Always take things slow; dating will be hard because you have many more emotions and thoughts to navigate, and you want this to be a positive experience.
