Hi

I can understand how you are feeling that’s why I felt I had to reply.

I think your feelings of emptiness and loss are grief.  I think you are grieving, at the moment,

from the loss of your wife, the life you had and the future and family you could have had with her.

I don’t think at this time that you should look for another partner, because as you say, you are

still in love with your ex.  That would be unfair on another person and I doubt you would find true happiness.

I think you just need time to heal.   When the time is right you will move forward and everything will fall

into place.  You will find your life partner and have the family you so want.

In this wealth obsessed world we now live in and social media it can make you feel that money is the be all and end all.  But it rarely brings true happiness.

I wish you every happiness and light for the future.  Look after your dog for they truly give unconditional love and friendship.
