Take it easy on yourself. You’ve undergone a major loss and now you are entering new territory. Chances are, you may not have it all figured out and you may have lots of questions regarding this new marriage. For instance, you may wonder if should you buy a new home instead of living in the one you shared with your late spouse, if you should stop wearing your old wedding ring when you get a new one, if you should get new furniture, and so on.
- Instead of trying to live up to others’ expectations or attempting to remarry after you become widowed in the “right” way, do what you and your new spouse feel comfortable with. Don’t be hard on yourself about this new chapter in your life and your marriage will likely be happy and healthy because of it.
