Till Death Us Do Part….

I was speaking with a friend last night who has just found a new love, she was widowed about 4 years ago and had struggled with life after her husbands death. Last night she said something that I thought was worth sharing…
“I suddenly realised that I wasn’t married. When you take you vows you are 
married until death us do part. I realised whether I saw myself as married or not…I wasn’t! I know this sounds strange but I knew I still loved him, nothing could change that, I knew nothing would bring him back and finally I accepted that death has meant that I no longer am married….acceptance meant that I could move on”
Funny, I had never thought about it like that…now I know many of you still can’t see yourself loving again, but neither could my friend and she has found a wonderful new man who will never replace her husband but in her words can still enhance her life in the future…..
