how do you move on when your heart's still in the past?
It’s been three years since my husband passed away. For a long time, I couldn’t even think about being with anyone else. But recently, I started dating again. I met someone new—he’s sweet, attentive, and we’ve had some great dates. I enjoy his company, but we haven’t crossed any boundaries yet.
Last night, I had a dream about my late husband. He was in the kitchen, cooking, and telling me I needed to take care of myself. When I woke up, I couldn’t stop crying. I felt so guilty—how could I be with someone else when I still love him so much?
Today, the guy I’m dating reached out to make plans again, and I’m feeling conflicted. I don’t know if I’m ready, or if I’m betraying my husband’s memory. It’s been a journey to get this far, and now, I’m just trying to figure out what comes next.
