(55) Loving Again After Loss: Dating and Remarriage After Widowhood


Listen Later

Losing one's spouse is one of life's most difficult and painful experiences. The process of grieving includes feelings of loneliness, abandonment, and isolation. While grieving the loss of a spouse, one also mourns the loss of identity as a member of an intimate partnership and acceptance of a new identity as a widow/er. Well-intentioned friends and family members may urge those who have lost a spouse to "move on," while others may pass judgment when they begin to date or find a new partner.
