I am 34 years old and have lost in an accident the love of my life 10 years ago. I am still not able to get over it and that keeps me from going on with my life. Any similar cases? Any advice? Thank you

We don't have similar case but I'm here to share some words. I think you have to move coz that's what life is. 10 years is a very long recovery and I think 5 years is enough for some. I just right here to advise but its your decision. It is really in you whether to move on or not. We don't know the whole story and the details. It is really in you.

Some say that people can not move on because they feel that their love ones would object to that. Maybe you should talk to him/her. I know it sounds silly but maybe you should go to his/hers grave (Im sorry I dont know if you're a male or female) and explain that you have to let him/her go and move on with your life and that you believe in your heart you have his/hers permission. Explain that you will love him/her forever, but time has come to let go and move on. Its ten years..it really is a long time. Its not you who lost your life but you are living is as you would. Be brave and let it go...you are so young, you cant live like this forever...it would be a shame, and Im sure your love wouldnt want that either.

Thank you so much for your response. These were also my thoughts, and it feels like the time has come for me to do so. It is really hard , but has to be done. Your sharing was really helpful.

I'm so sorry! But ten years is such a long time. I mean, I know you want to always remember you loved one, but you must keep in mind that you still have a life to live and you have to make it the best you can. You have to say goodbye some day, even if you remember him or her every day of your life, you can still love again, if that is what you chose to do. I'm sure that you can function as a being all on your own, you just need to step up and take you life back.
