When friends have competing views on how grief and new love should unfold

Our friend group has been trying to support me and Jake as we navigate dating again after we both lost partners, but everyone keeps giving us conflicting advice about timing and readiness and now we all feel weird around each other. Some of them think we're moving too fast, others are pushing us together, and we're caught in the middle of their opinions about our grief.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

A community's different beliefs about the right way to love after loss are creating tension that threatens both new intimacy and existing friendships.
