Finding love again

I am just wondering how easy is it for a widow to find love again more especially when you are in the age range of 45-55. Sometimes I think no second chance given, once you lose your partner that the end of your love life, no finding love and no being loved. Basically it becomes a closed chapter that’s my experience but I might be wrong. I wonder how others people’s experience is.

There are second chances.
They don't always play out the way we expect,
Everyone in the post 40 years will come with baggage and unhealable scars on their souls and hearts.
It's my experience that loving and kindness are not enough at this stage.
There needs to be understanding that holds no judgement on the things we do not understand.
There needs to be a sense of forgiving for the places inside the other human that we can't reach.
There needs to be an acceptance of the faults caused by rifts we cannot mend.
A knowledge that we cannot fill all the holes.

All of which needs to travel in both directions for it to work.

But YES, there are second, third, and even fourth chances for those that have an open heart, are willing and capable of love, and do not condemn a person based upon the scars and guilt that they carry with them as they trudge towards the reprieve of death.

Be Well
Live Happy
Keep Trying,
