My darling husband died last year after months of fighting lung cancer He was the love of my life and I have been very lonely without him. I don't know if I am ready for a relationship yet but I do know I do not want to spend the rest of my life alone. I would like to find someone to love who would love me back, or maybe I just want some company. Is it too soon to feel that way?

Time -
Time is on your side and time will show you the sign. Always be honest with yourself and just go for the ride.
If you shall find yourself feeling lonely and missing your husband. Don't use another man to take his place. If it's company that you want, try surrounding yourself around family and friends.
You'll know when you're ready to engage in a relationship with another man. You can date, or just have male friends. But never use someone to replace your lost one

Only you know if you are ready or not... Stop thinking about what other people are thinking... If the tables were turned would you want your husband to spend the rest of his life alone...I do hope you said no to that statement...
Go out and meet new people... as far as love goes it will come with time...

You cannot go out at this point thinking,"I need to find a new man." But you should go out with the goal being having fun and being social. Spend time with your friends and make new ones. Pick up a new hobby... When you're ready for more you'll know it.

If you don't feel ready to move on with someone else then dont. No one can ever replace your husband and you never have to feel like you're replacing him, but if you are not ready to date, and just want some companionship, I would advise a pet.. They can't give you the sexual satisfaction (unless you're.... into that...) but they will give you unconditional love.

No, not at all. Everyone becomes ready to move on at a different time. Even when you find another man, he'll never replace your husband. You do deserve to find happiness with a man again.

The time that you're ready to move on and date someone new is different for everyone. If you truly feel that you have gotten through your grief and can love again, then you're ready.

its understandable that you want somebody to just be there for you.. the feeling of knowing you are loved by the one you love. why dont u just spend time with your closest friends for now? unless you found somebody who you think might fit in his shoes then take it one day at a time.. i dont think there's a time limit for finding a new love, its just question if you are ready to love again...

you need to look for companionship at least to start a relationship with a man. then when you feel more comfortable you will know when to start "dating" again. it's never good to wait too long for anything.

grief has no time line, we all process it differently. You do what you want to do, test the dating waters and see if you find a guy and want more as you get to know him.
