Cupid’s Advice:
We all hope to find true love one day, especially after experiencing a tragedy. There are going to be times where love is not going to work out the way we hope. Unfortunately, this happens to many people more frequently than desired. However, you should always remember that there is somebody out there for everybody, and it’s the matter of patiently waiting your turn. Cupid has some advice for you:
1. Are you happy by yourself?: This means, are you happy without the addition of someone else in your life? One should be able to enjoy their life as an individual before dating. This allows you to open your heart to other possibilities instead of trying to fill an empty hole in your heart by using someone else.

2. Are your emotions truly ready?: Your emotions can make a big difference when it comes to whether you’re ready to date again. After experiencing a tragedy, ensure that you are emotionally available to another person. If you feel as if you are not emotionally ready, take a step back and focus on yourself for now.

3. Are you able to leave the past in the past?: Even though you absolutely loved your past relationship and what they did for you, do yourself a favor and keep it in the past. You are allowed to think of all the great memories you and that person had, but don’t let it interfere by measuring prospective dates against it.
