In Part 1, we looked at the difficult feelings that can surface when you see other people who still have his or her partner.
It’s natural to feel some envy, anger and resentment when you see other couples. These reactions represent the difficult emotional shift you’re making from having been part of a couple to now being single.
You may imagine that if you had a second chance at having your late partner with you again, you would do things differently. In reality, even if you could do it all over again, there would always be some tensions and conflicts. That’s just a normal part of being together with anyone.
Give yourself permission to yearn for what others still have but remind yourself of some of the realities that you once struggled with during your relationship with your late partner.
