The reason I lamented my own experience was to let you know that it will eventually become a sweet reminiscence. For me, it's been ongoing, and I started seriously dating again about 2 years after my love passed.
You just gotta let go and give up before it becomes possible for love to find you again (by give up, I mean, give it up to your higher power).
Personally, I believe that I have already had the one thing many people spend their entire lives searching for and never find. That comforts me and some may say it makes me a cynic, but in my mind, I have already lived the sweetest romance and overcome the hardest of losses (aside from a child). If I can do that, well, I can do anything. And, you will as well...in your own time.
