Hi,
I met someone online that I really like. I'm falling, and he's wonderful. Here's the catch:
He was engaged recently to a beautiful woman. She passed away suddenly and unexpectedly last spring. He is still grieving her, and I expect he will for a long time.
I don't want to replace her,or what they had. I think it's completely natural and normal for him to still be thinking of her and in love with her. As far as I'm concerned, he can love her the rest of his life, and that's fine by me.
I know he misses having love in his life, but he feels guilty if he dates, especially if he gets to kissin and such. I have nothing but time, and patience. My question is what can I do to help him be ok? What will help him the most? I just want to be there for him, in whatever capacity he's ready for and wants. I don't want him to have guilt and withdraw from me after, so I'm going to leave the pacing to him.
If anyone has any ideas, they are appreciated. Wishing all of you who are missing loved ones and grieving, peace and love.
