To lose husband to cancer and he was a true soulmate. To then meet someone new 18 months later and also believe that they are a second true soulmate.

I’m sorry for your loss, OP. Flowers

I’ve never believed in soul mates, but does it really matter what other people think? If you’ve met someone you really feel at home with, are sure your feelings are not a reaction to the grief of losing your husband and there are no red flags just run with it. Well done you!

Maybe the grieving started when the signs/news of cancer hit home to the remaining spouse and therefore they had longer to deal with it than others presume/think?

Maybe the partner does have 2 soulmates.

Maybe this person is needing some consolation and companionship.

No-one knows and it’s no-one else’s business. Regardless as to whether this person in the opening post is you or someone else.

Of course it’s possible and I am pleased for anyone who has a second chance at happiness after such a tragic loss.

It doesn’t mean the dead person is being replaced, or that their death will ever not be sad.

Yes its possible, if you believe in soul mates, then why should there be only 1?

WhatTheFluck · 08/10/2019 21:36

Yes, I would like to believe its possible to meet a second soulmate even in the relatively short time that has passed.

Totally possible, a year and a half is enough time to start thinking forwards to the future after a death. You would aways miss them, but life goes on.

People change, berevement changes people and a person who may or may not have been a soulmate before you changed could be one now because you are a different person now. Different soul mates for different times as you are a different person.

Totally possible.
