Finding love again after your spouse has passed on

My best friend Alicia passed away in November 2011, just hours after her C-Section with her second daughter. (This member: http://members.baby-gaga.com/member345529)

Her husband, suddenly left with a 3 year old and a newborn to care for on his own, was of course devastated.

Well he usually isn't the type to post things on FB, and if he does, it's about his daughters, or Alicia.

Well a few days ago he updated his status to 'in a relationship since February 14' and then he posted a picture with her, and I amazed at how happy he looks.

I'm so glad that he's been able to move forward, and love again. I find it really inspiring. He was soooo in love with Alicia, I honestly wondered if he'd ever even try to love someone else.

Just wanted to share, I'm really happy for him.  

I have so much respect for people that have to go through this!! I don't know what I would ever do if this happened to me..

I remember when this happened. I am glad he has found someone to care about again!

I am so so sorry for your loss   Reading her page nearly had me in tears. It's really such a shame.
It kind of reminded me of this blog i read about a mans wife who passed away right after their daughter was born and his whole blog is how he was coping with it while trying to raise his daughter by himself.

I'm so very happy for him that he was able to find someone new in his life! I'm sure she would have been happy to see him happy.

This makes me smile when you lose someone like he did and him being able to find love again. My MIL, she lost her husband when my husband was only 9 yrs old and she never moved on, she never wanted another love. DH and I have talked about this, and if one of us goes, that the one left behind finds love again., of course depending on our age as well.

That's wonderful!! I am always so happy for someone when they find someone to be happy with again. Humans aren't meant for lives of solitude...

Aw how sad.  

Quoting ♥Daenerys:" Aw how sad.  "

I know, I can kinda understand it but I don't think I could live the rest of my life alone, I mean she was alone for over 30 years when she died.

I tried to make my husband promise me that if I passed first he would try to move on.. he refuses. I honestly can't blame him because I'm not sure if I could move on either. my husband and i are bonded on such a level I've never experienced before, it's the definition of soulmates to me, which makes it understandable that he has such a hard time with the concept of moving on after my passing.

I have a healthy respect for any individual that can find love again after such loss and tragedy...people deserve to love and be loved. (:
& I am so sorry about your friend..it is truly sad. I was resuscitated with my daughter/1st emergency c-section.. and I hemorrhaged. I was dead for a minute and a half before being revived.

My heart shattered reading the story. I was on a hiatus during the time all that happened. I didn't even know.   I figured that she just did what most of us do, have our babies and take a several month break from BG. I am just so sorry to hear what happened. However, I am happy for him. He deserves to continue living and to be in love again.

Learning to live again is the hardest and I am happy for him. I really am. My BFF lost her husband (ironically, he was my dear friend and after his passing his wife and I got close) one month before their daughter was born on what would have been his 30th birthday. There is nothing so tragic as loosing your loved one around what is supposed to be an amazing and wonderful time. She was able to move on and find love again as well. She has remarried and had a little boy who will be 1 next month.

Ugh that makes me want to cry! But I have to say, it would be extremely hard to find someone else, I'm sure it would take me a long time.

How sad! I can't imagine that. It breaks my heart hearing stories like that, and like you said, it's even worse when it's suppose to be an exciting time because a new life is coming into the world.

I still cry when I think about Travis. He has been gone 6 years now. It was just so unfair. The irony of it was one of our last conversations was him telling me that he was going to have a little girl who was going to take his birthday. He said "That's ok, I don't need to have anymore anyway" and he never did. He will forever be handsome and will always be remembered as a young vibrant happy guy, full of love and life. Sadly, his mother never recovered from his loss and took her own life this January.

That seriously gave me chills. Sometimes I wonder if people somehow know their time is coming. I know with Alicia, she mentioned several times how she was scared of dying from her c-section... I always told her she'd be fine. She knew something was going to happen though, she was absolutely terrified, and she did/said some odd things, that looking back on it now, truly make me believe she knew.

That's so sad about the mom, too.  

  I remember reading about her and what happened. I cried quite a few tears over it. it's so chilling to read her final post on here.
It's very nice to know her husband is doing well. thank you for sharing
