Two songs resonate with me, this one and “love the one you’re with”. Meaning it right and okay to miss the one you love and once had. But you did not die, your beloved died and it’s okay to love again. It takes time to resolve the old relationships. note I refuse to consider terms like heal or fix or get over. My love for her was and is good. But I can love again. Which means loving another person.

The one time I made my late partner cry (while she was dying) was to tell her much I would miss her. She only wanted happy messages and sent a message of no prayers and no tears (too depressing). Her death was easy and pretty much pain free. She wanted her last time to be only good. I had to change my comment and say I would manage.
We agreed that there should be a minimum period of mourning and that we should each get on with our lives. If I had died first I would not want her to keep pinning for me and she felt the same. I know this sounds a bit heartless but she let reason be her guide (and so should I) and we felt good memories should take the place of constant mourning. If course everyone is different but this was our belief. Love and care for each other while we were together and afterward get on with our lives.

The Italians say "Life is for the living"....and as hard as it might seem to do that is exactly what most people would want their partners to do. IMHO
I had the same conversation with my wife. We both wanted the other to go on with their life after a bit. I'll never "get over" her but will make another life for myself, which I'm doing.
