The loss of a family member is one of thebiggest traumasa person can experience.
Wanting to see if he made the right choice, he decided toconsult other netizens.
Psychiatrist Dr. Laura Dabney also noted that the new girlfriend might reopen the wound of the loss.

But in many cases, that simply isnt true.
Help them to see that moving on from grief into a loving relationship is a positive step for him.

Grief author Diane Frommewritesthat moving on should include memories of the person who passed away.
