    I’m going great outside of one thing. I miss my soulmate. It’s been over 2 years. My heart is still empty. I’m dating again but I feel hollow.

      Best wishes. You are still grieving. That doesn’t mean you shouldn’t date at all, it just means you need to allow yourself to continue grieving even while you move forward with your life. You deserve happiness.

        It’s unduly long and complex but made worse that we are still friends and were it not for a specific situation we may still be together. Took me 40 years to find my soulmate only to have them taken away because life told us it was not time and here I am now stuck with not being able to move forward because why would I be able to love another when the one of my dreams is still there within arm’s reach.

        It sucks. I’m at least blessed with 3 kids from a previous marriage which give me joy and I have a career I love. I also have many around me who I love and I feel they love me back. It’s just that final puzzle piece. I know where it is. I want to complete my puzzle but I can’t because it’s not possible right now.

        Sigh.
