I think I'm meant to be single. Relationships are very demanding. I guess it can work, but you have to have the right partner. I just haven't found that person yet.
What's helped has been giving myself time and taking care of myself and my health. That's been a priority. I'm not pushing myself to do things or date again. My saving grace has been staying physically active ... I'm coming to grips with being single again.
It's taken me a year to even want to get back into the game of dating, or even feel normal. I'm no longer grieving or angry. I want to get on with my life.
I really think you need a year of grieving, overcoming the pain and putting things in proper perspective. I'm just beginning to feel whole again, and I'm actually very happy with me and my life.
