7 things you need to know when starting a relationship with a widow

A relationship is a rather responsible thing. When you lose someone you love, you have no idea how to go for meeting with someone again. Some people decide never to start any relationships again. Others start new relations immediately to find a replacement for their lost loved one. There is some advice on how to start dating a widower and what it would be better to know.

RELATIONSHIP

1) DO NOT DATE SOMEONE UNTIL YOU FEEL READY

There is no time frame for grief. It could take months, or it could be a few years. Most importantly, don’t let others tell you when the right time has come. At the same time, it can be hard to know when you are ready, so don’t be afraid. Going on an actual date may be the only way of finding out.

2) DATE FOR SOME REASONS.

Rather than making a rash decision, think about why you want to start dating again. It’s not wrong to date because you’re lonely or desire some company. Single people date for those reasons too. Anyway, it is important not to try to fill a void in your heart created by losing your spouse.

3) BE WHO YOU ARE

It may be not very easy, because you may have such feelings as you lost part of your identity when your date died. Be comfortable and confident in yourself – this will make you more attractive to prospective partners, and will increase your self-evaluation.

4) FEELING GUILTY IS NORMAL TO START AGAIN

You may feel like you are cheating on your ex. You might be embarrassed for your friends or your ex’s friends to know that you are trying to move on. But dating again is not wrong, and if you are ready, you have every right to do so. After a few dates, the feelings of guilt should begin to subside. If they don’t, it’s probably best to take some time off.

5) THINK OF FUTURE

We all have a past, but it’s also important to concentrate on the here and now and to be present with the person you are on a date with. Ask your dates about their hopes for the future, and consider what you want from life both in the here and now and going forward.

6) DO NOT HURRY UP YOUR RELATIONSHIPS

Losing a wife or husband is a huge shock to the system. Suddenly, you have lost the person who you were closest to, physically and emotionally. It is normal to want these things back into your life, but even if dating is going well, try not to rush it.

7) DO NOT TRY TO REPLACE YOUR EX PARTNER

No one is going to be the same as your ex. You had something special, and that will always be the case. It’s important to treasure those memories, but dating again is not about finding a like-for-like replacement.

Losing someone is always difficult, but losing a spouse is a profound experience that affects much more than your single status. With the loss of a loved one, a whole life can change.
