I'm lonely but not ready to date

Since the man I loved passed away I just haven't felt like dating anyone else and its been over a year now. I miss intimacy, but I still love him so dating feels somehow wrong. I also don't feel like I could ever love someone like I loved him. So it seems unfair to anyone I date. Plus I have his ashes in my bedroom so thats another thing. We wanted to be scattered together somewhere when I die. I just don't really even know who I am anymore or truly what I want my future to be.

Oh, my, my heart is with you!!! I experienced the same--wife passed two and a half years ago. Give it some time. grieve. Feel into it. Cry when you need to. Talk to people. In time you will feel like moving forward--but still loving the many you loved. I started dating and have found someone special...it can happen..and yes on the intimacy as well... sending you much love!!
