Paula Quinsee, a relationship expert explained to Briefly News:

“Grieving is a deeply personal journey and varies widely between individuals as there is no ‘correct’ timeframe within which one should grieve. “

Factors that make the process a little easier and knowing when you may be ready to step out there again include:

• Acceptance of your loss and you can think of your late partner without overwhelming pain, emotion or an empty void.
• The idea of socialising and meeting new people feels more exciting than feeling guilty or overwhelmed.
• Your support system (i.e. friends or family) support your decision to start socialising or dating again which shows that they see you in a healthier emotional state.
• You’ve had time to understand your own emotional needs and what you’re looking for in a new relationship.

“It's okay to take things slowly by starting with casual interactions like a coffee here and there to see how you feel. If your grief resurfaces, it’s natural, but it doesn’t necessarily mean you’re not ready, rather that healing is an ongoing process, and by engaging in new and different experiences, you slowly build the next chapter in your life.”

South Africans were broken by the tragic story and commented:

"Dear women, if this man gives you a chance to be in his life, don't disturb his peace and the bond that he has with his child. That baby will be broken."
