Death of a parent (23)
SeriouslyFunLondon, Ontario Canada23 Threads 1 Polls 247 PostsMy mother took her own life at the beginning of June 09'. I have spent these past few weeks looking after all the details of two estates and trying to grieve during the pauses. I met a woman online prior to this, and took myself off that site for a while. Just wondering how long a person should wait to pursue dating after something like this has happened. I have got my bearings back, but know that there is more to come.

Sorry for your loss. Everyone is different. We can't bottle grief, cap it, and place it on a shelf after X number of days or months. Mourning periods are not the same for anyone, even for different deaths in one's life. Only you can answer when you can and should start dating again.

Thanks all. I feel okay about getting through the grieving part, I have loving family and friends.
I guess my question is how long should you wait to put yourself out there? I know what lies ahead, and I know that I can manage it with my supports. It is a much different experience losing a parent rather than a grandparent or aunt/uncle.

I am sorry for your loss, I hope my mail to you shed some light on you and the subject of suicide.

sorry for your loss.
all we can do when we loose the ones we love is to cherish them in our hearts and continue on our journey.

i went through the same thing 3 years ago,my dad took his own life,take time for yourself first to sort out your feelings,but if you find someone that you can talk to about this situation it helps alot.

I am very sorry to hear of your sad loss.The grieving process is very different for everyone.The way they grieve and how long they grieve varies also.Just because a person is getting on with their life,going out and living doesn't mean they have forgotten their loved one who has passed on.It doesn't mean they don't cry when alone,so do what you feel is right for you,not what someone else expects of you.
