Advice for my sister who lost her husband?

her husband died about 19 months ago. she has been having trouble getting back out there and meeting new people. she is always the third wheel and she lonely. I told her that she cant grow old alone and scared and depressed. that isnt what her husband would have wanted.He would have wanted her too keep his memories live and well with her and he wouldnt want her to be alone for the rest of her life. He would want to know that she is happy, taken care of and loved. It may have been hard for her losing her soul mate but he will never die with all the lovely memories she has left of him. He would want her to find someone who will take good care of her and her child, find a good father figure, and to find someone she could love and still be happy with. If you ever meet a new man, make sure it is someone you know your husband would prove of, better yet a man with the same qualities you loved about him. You dont have to be alone for the rest of your life, there are plenty of other fish in the sea and you never know who might be waiting around the corner, it might be a really great guy. just give somebody a chance. As long as you know your husband would prove of him and that he takes care of you, loves you, and is a good father figure for your son, and you still have your husbands memories with you, then your love will never die. He may be gone but it will feel like he is still with you if you can meet somebody like him. It the only way your ever going to move on and be happy. is this good advice for her?Advice for my sister who lost her husband?
It sounds good. He would not have wanted her always un happy, you want you loved ones to be happy and not lonely, taken care of.


It sounds like you are a good brother.Advice for my sister who lost her husband?
Good advice, but you have to understand that your sister can't move on until she has finished grieving. That process can take up to 3 years. She'll know when she's ready. Don't pressure her. Give her the space she needs to finish her grieving. As long as she's hurting, she won't be ready.
