5. You believe in love and the institution of marriage, yet you may be scared to love and lose again.
This can result in distancing when things begin to get serious. Know that this is a possibility and is based on a need to protect yourself.
Anything worth having can be scary because of the unknown factor. You are alive now and now is the time to live. Feel the fear and do it anyway.
6. Since the death of your spouse, you have a newfound sense of independence and you may really enjoy this new freedom.
You recognize that your new relationship doesn’t have to be about being together 24- 7. So, it’s okay to go out on your own and encourage your partner to experience life separately as well.
7. The beautiful thing is that you can apply lessons learned from your first relationship to the new one.
No relationship is perfect and this is your second chance to get it right, which may explain why remarried widows and widowers are happier and healthier than their counterparts who have not found love.
