He died suddenly. I met a really nice guy who was really into me and he was found dead a week ago. I only new him for 5 weeks and we hadn't gone on a date yet. We had one planned for last friday but he died on thursday. Some people think I should try to meet a new guy right away because I didn't know him very long. We talked on the phone every other day for two hours at a time for the last two weeks of his life I new him very well. I don't know how much to hold on to and how much to let go of? I am afraid of supressing my feelings and causeing myself to go into a depression. help?

It's your heart, if it needs to hurt it will hurt. There is no mistake or regret in emotion, only growing. Everything you have ever felt has helped determine who you are, don't change that.

Jesus Christ is called our "Savior". What does He save us from? Everything! We go to the Cross by faith and tell Him that we feel this way or that way. Then, you "lay" those feelings and thoughts down at the Cross where Jesus died. You ask Him, "Take these horrible feelings out of my heart Jesus and give me new direction for my life. I will put my trust in You and I will live Your way and seek to know you with all my heart. I know you will give me a good life; a life that pleases you and a life that will really work for me. I will not be so independent that I would think that even though You created me, you wouldn't know what I need. How stupid would that be! So Father in Heaven, take my life now and redirect my steps into Your Word (the Bible) so I can understand your will for my life, please do this for me because I want to know you, my Savior. In Jesus Name I pray! Amen!" Then.. get your butt into a good church and stay there! Let real believers teach you about faith in God and don't go off on our own thinking you know what's good for you because....you won't know. You'll just get lost and disappointed again; it happens to everyone and sometimes they don't learn the first time. Don't waste your time in life with mistakes and disappointments. God will never mislead you. He knows the way that you should take. Take time to "know" Him and then your way will be "right".

candyrose, I am so sorry for your loss. He sounds like a wonderful man and you bonded so quickly as friends. you must have had so much in common. it's easy to say be grateful you got to know him, and to go ahead and move on. you obviously had feeling for him or you wouldn't be grieving. don't listen to other, unless you want to. you do what is right in your heart. the pain eases up, but it does take awhile. you will know . just remember that there are others who are going thru similar losses and we feel for you and we are here for you. dana

    I miss traveling with my husband. Has anyone found a specific site regarding cruising for widow/widowers or any sightseeing trips. Not interested in being with couples and kids,,,I realize a cruise ship will have a portion size of families and couples, but perhaps they also put together a part of the cruise ship for groups of widows/widowers????

    A friend sent this to me..As far as I can see, grief will never truly end.It may become softer overtime, more gentleand some days will feel sharp.But grief will last as long as Love does - ForeverIt's simply the way the absence of your loved onemanifests in your heart. A deep longing accompaniedby the deepest Love some days. The heavy fog mayreturn and the next day, it may recede.Once again, it's...
