It isn't e-z for a new relationship after being in one for 31 years.   I had been her caregiver since 1994.   She had told me and some of our close friends that she wished I would find someone...she didn't want me to leave...but she wanted me to have someone on the side.  I laughed and said "like I have the energy"..lol.  I never did it at all.  In 09 I was a a Native  American org.  ...there I learned drumming from a good teacher.  Yr after my partner had died..we kept bumping into one another...we started going out for coffee....met at drumming and fluting circles.  We have much in common.  But it still is a bit hard.  She is very patient and understanding..supports me....and even at times grieves w me...she was also friends w me and my partner.  I am happy..but do have some rough times..I am very glad she is in my life

Movies about grief that actually understand loss — any recommendations?

Hi everyone  I’m new here and honestly never thought I’d need a space like this, but here I am. I’ve been living with grief for a while now, and some days it’s quiet, some days it hits out of nowhere.Lately I’ve been watching movies about loss and grief - not to make myself sad on purpose, but to feel understood.
