My wife died just six months ago and I feel guilty for liking another woman

My wife died just six months ago, so I feel full of guilt.

I’m 46 and my wife was 38 when she was killed in a road accident. We have two wonderful sons who are still in their teens.

I have been devastated – crying and grieving and just doing my best to keep going because of the boys.

Recently I joined a walking group and that’s where I met this new friend. She is my age and also alone.

We chat in a light-hearted way and she knows I am in no way ready for another relationship. I don’t want to ignore her, but what can I do when I still love my wife?

DEIDRE SAYS: I’m so sorry. You’ve had a huge loss and it’s still early days.

It’s great that you’ve found a new friend. Make sure she’s not getting up false hopes. Take life a day at a time.
