Flowergirlie,
SOme people believe you have to fill that place. That you have to have someone with you. Not sure if that comes from fear of being alone or what. I am so happy that your husband was your soulmate, some people never feel that connection, I am just sorry that you lost your husband so soon.
Only you know whats right for you and when. I hope in time you find peace and happiness no matter how you achieve that. I can tell through all your posts what an amazing person you are, don't let anyone elses opinion bother you.
I am glad to hear you are going back to school and focusing on your children. I think you are doing great. Continue to stay true to yourself.
Dana
