kayc Posted June 11, 2009 Report Share Posted June 11, 2009 Thank you, Marty! Those are wonderful, simple tips.I am just beginning to date after losing John. While my feelings for John aren't totally dissipated, I realize it'll take time to completely heal. I made such a huge mistake in jumping into my relationship with him after George died, and I realize I went into it for the wrong reasons...I was in so much pain, hurting and lonely, and was extremely vulnerable. This time I am in no hurry to have a "relationship" with anyone, I'm not even sure I want one. I remain open to possibilities but have no real "agenda" other than to make friends, expand my horizon, and have positive enjoyable times. I feel much healthier and happier inside. I wish I would have known these truths before, but perhaps I wouldn't have been ready to listen to them then, perhaps I needed this path to learn, as painful and arduous a journey as it's been.We appreciate your looking out for us!Kay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
