Relationship expert on dating again after a spouse's death

Briefly News spoke to relationship expert and founder of Engaged Humans, Paula Quinsee, about how to start dating again following a partner's death. She said:

"Getting out into the dating scene again can feel awkward, and people can even feel some level of guilt in the process, so it’s important to find a balance between honouring your past relationship while being open to new connections.

"It’s important to acknowledge you had a past and that you shared a life with someone that has both positive memories and potentially lessons learned, too. This can also help you identify what you want in future relationships."
