I'm widowed. 50% of your friends will tell you you need to get out there, and 50% will tell you you haven't grieved long enough and it's disrespectful to start dating.
If you say anything about dating. I didn't.
I did some sewing for a woman in her sixties who had never married. When asked why, she said she had never met a man that was worth giving up her freedom for.
"It takes a hellava man to beat no man at all" is better.
