Relationship expert weighs in

Speaking to Briefly News, couple counsellor, coach and author of Uncomplicated Love Shelley Lewin, also known as the Relationship Architect said grieving the loss of a partner is personal and it takes time. She listed a few pointers to consider during the healing process. She said:

"Allowing yourself to grieve fully: Acknowledging the pain and processing the emotions without rushing through them is crucial for long-term healing.

"Leaning on a support system: Friends, family, and even professional help can provide the emotional scaffolding needed during this time.

"Honouring your late partner's memory: This could be through rituals, sharing stories, or creating something in their memory, which helps keep their essence alive in a healthy way.

"Reconnecting with yourself: This is a time to rediscover your identity outside the relationship, nurturing personal growth, hobbies, and passions.

"Gradual re-entry into social and romantic life: There is no timeline for when to date again, but moving forward when ready is key to rebuilding a fulfilling life."
