Hi, I lost my husband Paul just over 3 years ago and after 1 year I was lucky
enough to get together with a wonderful man. He and my husband had been friends
for around 25 years and I know that my beautiful husband would want me to be
happy. I too have photographs around my home, they are precious reminders of
the special times that my husband and I shared. I also have a photograph of
Wayne(my partner) and myself on show in the living room. I know that Wayne
doesn't have a problem at all with the photos of my past. They are a huge part
of who I am. I seems that you also have an understanding partner who can accept
your past. I'm not sure how I would have responded if Wayne hadn't accepted the
photographs of Paul and myself the way that he has. I'm glad that I have never
had to deal with anything like that. I do hope that you will find true
happiness with this man. You are allowed to carry on and be happy and you must
do what you feel is right for you.
Take care, Wendy

I lost Patrick to AeA a little over a year ago. He and I now have a 5
month old son who is the best thing that ever happened to me. I miss
Patrick so much! And it took me almost a year to decide to get back out
there and try dating again. I met a guy who loves both Ian (Patrick and
my son) and I. He is very understanding of the whole situation. Which I
never thought in a million years that I would find.
I still have reservations as to how to let go. I know I do not have to,
but I have pictures of Patrick all over my apartment. I CAN NOT take
them down. My new boyfriend has not said anything in reference to them,
but I in some way feel bad about having them up. Everything in me tells
me to leave them there. But for his sake, I feel like I am not doing my
new boyfriend justice by leaving them up. Do I take them down? Leave
them? If I am to take them down, how am I not to feel like I am doing
an injustice to Patricks memory? I will always have a picture of him up
for Ian to see, but I have several. I don't know what to do.
