Answer

it's hard to know what the grieving experience for this would be like. I have no way of knowing

Answer

Maybe never. It would be really difficult. Dating  wouldn’t even cross my mind.

Answer

I don’t think anyone can answer this unless they happen to have gone through something like this. Also every situation is different.

Answer

when im ready. why is there never an option for "whenever im ready." people always seem to act like everything is just formulaic and perfect and that you can exactly quantify when everyone is ready to do whatever.

Answer

Considering my SO is in the later stages of a terminal illness and has been declining in health every year because of that, I've thought about this a lot. 
I'm torn between thinking I'll fuck every guy in sight within a few weeks after (I've heard rebound sex is pretty great) just to make myself feel better. OR I'll be celibate for a few years until I move to the Caribbean and meet a half Cuban man named Gustavo. He'll have beautiful hair. 
I'm pretty torn between the two. It's one of those things you can't really know until it happens.

Answer

Maybe it's the hormones talking, but never. He's irreplaceable. I would think of him during every kiss, every night together, every decision we would make as a couple with the new guy, no matter how long it's been since his death. I would feel like I'd be betraying him after all we've been through. I don't think I could live with that.

Answer

I don’t think that would even cross my mind. It would be very traumatic for me.

Answer

I don't even want to think about this. It would probably take me forever, or I might never even want to be in a relationship anymore. 
Death is different than breaking up, it hits harder. I don't know what my reaction would be or how long I'd take to heal.

Answer

I've thought about this and honestly the very thought of another man touching me makes me want to vomit. It would take years at least for me to move on.
