The truth is that most young widows eventually want to experience the pleasures of dating and the joys of falling in love again after the pain of early grief has subsided. In fact, studies reveal that 50% of widows under 55 will remarry within four years after the death of their spouse. But like many widows you may feel vulnerable and unsure of yourself, so you don’t know how to begin the process of taking those first steps towards meeting new men. Men who could potentially make your life feel more satisfying and complete.
Unfortunately like many young widows you may be holding yourself back from dating out of guilt, fear, ambivalence or doubt. Or worry that you are betraying your deceased husband, could lose a new partner, or feel skeptical that a new man could ever live up to your former spouse. You might be hesitating for fear of upsetting your children. These uncertainties can lead to unnecessary isolation and loneliness.
At the other end of the spectrum, you might be pressuring yourself to start dating because you think this is what you should be doing, and end up feeling confused at best, or at odds with your values and needs at worst. This does not have to be your fate.
