She noted that she had not started dating again.
“No, I have not. I have not. I have not,” she said at the time. “I couldn’t even think about that. It was not even in my psyche to even cross that bridge and the thought of even anything serious anytime soon, I can’t even process. It’s just so complicated, so many emotions attached to that.”
While she was not ready to date at the time, she did say she was open to the idea of letting someone in at some point in the future. “I will say, it does get a little bit lonely, so the thought of a coffee or a hike or something like that, I’d be open to,” she shared. “But yeah, there’s a lot of ins, a lot of outs, a lot of what have you,” the widow said.
