“I will never love again….”
A phrase that we have all used, even in our adolesence even when our first crush/boyfriend “broke our heart”. When we lose a spouse, it is raw and we cannot ever see or want to see ourselves loving again. That is natural.
First you are right “no one will ever take their place”. They were unique, and the love you shared was unique. You will never lose that, but it doesn’t mean that you cannot find happiness with a new “unique” person.
Second, your heart is full of emotions and is full of love. It is made to love, it needs to love…..you are grieving because of your ability to love. Your loss, will not take away the ability….it is just the desire to love that is not there at the moment. Remember your heart is broken, it needs to heal but it still has plenty of love to give.
Thirdly, you deserve to be happy. You may not be able to see that at the moment but you can be happy again, and as your heart heals it will be able to…..just look round and see people who have lost people and gone on to find happiness again.
None of the above ever takes away from the love you have had and lost….

I am at the point where I sometimes think I am ready to love again. But then there are times when I know that I still miss my husband and feel that noone can ever replace him. Indeed, he was the most special man I have ever known. Who can ever come into my life that will be like he was. But I know God is in control and if I trust Him, He will give me the desires of my heart.
