I am a widower of seven months. My wife died within three days of initial symptoms. It was very, very fast, and she was in a coma for the last two days of it. We had True Love with a capital "T". The real thing like neither of us had ever experienced in our combined three previous marriages. We'd had three years together before she died.

How can you move on after such a thing, people ask. And I will tell you, there are times that it seemed quite impossible. The unending tears, the gutwrenching loss, the blearying disorientation of literally not knowing what to do next. I don't recommend it to anyone.

But my wife and I also had an amazing relationship. There were no secrets, no agendas, no whould-could-shouldas at the end. Our first words were always, "I love you" and our parting words were always the same. We had no unresolved issues at the end because we dealth with them immediately, opennly and honestly. Like I said, the real thing.

A month ago, I met someone. And we are seeing each other quite often. There is the spark of something special, and a definite possibility for the long term. It's a wonderful thing.

But I am getting flak. It's too soon, or I'm disrespecting my wife's memory, or whatever. Everyone has an opinion, and the same people who were so supportive during my loss, look at me askance.

My points dear friends are these. 1. Everyone is ready when they are ready and not sooner...nor later.
