Finding Love Again After a Loss

Losing a partner or spouse is one of the most difficult things a person can go through. The relationship and personal connection you shared is special and will understandably bring many emotions and difficult feelings after a loss. For some people, such a loss creates doubt that they’ll ever find love again. This can be especially difficult around holidays, birthdays, or special occasions like Valentine’s Day, especially if you had a certain tradition.

The good thing, however, is that you can find love after a loss when you’re open to it. It actually starts with remembering your partner fondly and taking the time to navigate your grief in ways that give you a sense of acceptance.

Everyone experiences grief in their own personal way, but celebrating the life and times you had with your partner or spouse not only maintains the special connection you shared, but it helps open your heart to the possibility of finding love again.

When grieving the loss of someone you were especially close to, emotions will come and go. It’s important to acknowledge them and give yourself time to process these feelings, but it is also okay to feel happiness during grief. Moments of peace, joy, or love does not lessen the love you had for the person you’ve lost. In fact, it is part of the grieving journey and can help you find new ways to love another.

There is no right time to start seeing another after a loss. Be open to what comes your way. Try saying “yes” to things after a loss – it may open an entire new world for you that you never knew existed. We are not meant to go through life alone, so whatever you do, do it with love, kindness, and consideration and allow yourself grace during this time.
