The Seven Most Asked Questions About Widows and Dating

Widows and dating: the seven most asked questions, answered without a single rule about when you're supposed to be ready. Dating after your person dies can feel strange, especially if the last time you dated was 10, 20, or 30 years ago. In episode 384 of The Widowed Mom Podcast, Krista St-Germain answers the seven questions she hears most from widows about dating. How do you know when you're ready. How soon is too soon. Does dating mean you're moving on. What if you compare everyone to your person. What if your kids don't want you to date. What if dating brings grief right back up. Her answer to most of it: there's no calendar, no readiness test, and no correct choice. Some widows date soon, some wait years, some never date again. None of it says anything about how much you loved your person. What matters is whether you like your reasons.
