It's been nearly four years since Krissy passed, and while the memories and feelings are easily conjured up, the pain is gone. Last week I began socializing again and looking for someone to date. The shrine over the fireplace has been downsized for a year now.
I've been going to social "meetups" and I'll be on a cruise next week, scouting out the babes like a normal single man.
My psychiatrist and anti-depressant helped. Also, my kids were absolutely invaluable to my recovery.
Actually, I think most folks would reach this point much sooner. I'm an introvert and don't normally socialize anyway. A standard extrovert could probably get to this stage of freedom in one year or two.
Just a reminder that life does eventually become happy again, and it does get back to normal.
