If you don't want to date, that's your choice. But don't be too hard on those who suggest it. In fact, just visiting with one of the opposite sex can help you get through your own grief. You might want to consider joining a support group, which will allow you to meet others who understand your feelings. But don't think of your loss as the end; think of it as a new beginning. Your husband may be gone, but you are still here. Wouldn't he want you to pick up your life and go on? Wouldn't he want you to enjoy life to the fullest rather than brooding and moping through it? Open yourself to new possibilities and you may be amazed at how your life will change for the better. And by the way, that bad dog won't protect you from yourself.
