Feeling Guilty? After an appropriate time of grieving the death of your spouse and after experiencing personal healing from your loss, you might consider dating. New dating relationships can cause you to feel guilty. You may feel you shouldn’t be having fun and that you are being disloyal to your lost spouse. These feelings are certainly natural and will take some time getting over. “When you first start dating, you feel guilty for enjoying yourself. That was a little awkward getting past,” says Marie, who lost her husband. You are not betraying or abandoning your loved one by dating again. God does not want you to feel guilty about this. You are free to date, and you are free to not date. “This then is how we know that we belong to the truth, and how we set our hearts at rest in his presence whenever our hearts condemn us. For God is greater than our hearts, and he knows everything” (1 John 3:19-20). Heavenly Jesus, You are greater than all my worries. I bow down to Your wisdom for my life. Amen. (from Griefshare.org)
