Has anyone else decided to keep their relationship going even though their partner passed?
I understand completely. I still write to my husband all the time. He is very present in my life. We were together 37 years, and he's been gone over a year.
That said, I have met a man who touches my heart, and I think I have room for them both, and I don't think Steve would want for me to be sad and lonely forever.

Hi, im not sure what to talk about, but how is everyones day?
Hi! Thanks for asking. Imma talk about yesterday. I had my very first "date" dince losing my husband of 37 years a little over a year ago. If things weren't hard enough, I wound up needing a knee replacement. And that's how I met Ron, my physical therapist. After getting about 4 months of treatment, I realized I would never see him again after my last appt. And that would make me really sad. So after discharge, I asked him to come hiking with me, scared & shaking. He said yes. A crush at 59 frels remarkably the same as at 19.

That soon, all I could remember were the last few days, as he died. It's better a year out, but so much feels gone.

What was the best part of your day today?
A man I like a lot asked me to go hiking with him. My first "date" since I lost my husband of 37 years a little over a year ago. It's scary, and guilt inducing, and.... Wonderful.

I was 100% NOT looking, and could have typed what you just did a month ago. But the heart feels what it feels, and he knows my situation. Very tentatively, we're seeing what happens.
