Dating someone who’s lost a partner? It’s brave, messy, and worth doing right. Here are simple, compassionate conversation starters and boundary tips to build trust while honoring their past: • “Tell me what you need when memories feel heavy.” • “What traditions would you like to keep?” • “Is there language that feels painful to hear?” • “How much should we share with friends/family?” • “I want to support you—how will I know I’m helping?” Set clear check-ins, agree on pacing, and respect keepsakes and anniversaries. At Fundamental Solutions Psychotherapy, we help partners navigate these talks with care. Book support in Marriottsville or Westminster: https://wix.to/Yb81JVW Want some tailored prompts?
