The Health Toll of Widowhood - How You Can Continue Living After Loss | S6E1

As Cynthia began rebuilding her life, another question came with it.

One many widows and widowers face.

whether and when she was ready to love again.

Is there a right time for anything in life?

No.

If you find it, let me know.

So, yeah, I'm still crying after 10 years.

So if I had waited 10 years to start dating.

Right.

Okay, finally, it's 10 years and I'm not crying anymore.

And then I start dating now.

And then next month something happens and I cry.

Do I start over again? Yeah.

So at some point, the question of companionship or love came back into your life because you're remarried now.

When did you begin to feel open to that again? A friend

of mine said to me that she was dating.

And I asked her, how was she dating? And she said she was dating online.

And so I took her advice and I went online.

Yeah.

Was there any reluctance to opening up your heart again to love?

The reluctance came from being judged.

Mostly from being judged.

Oh, it's too soon.

Oh, I can't believe it.

She really didn't love him.
