After experiencing a loss, it can be tempting to withdraw from the world. However, a new survey indicates that many bereaved people are open to the idea of dating again but are afraid of being judged.
The study, carried out by 3Gem on behalf of charity Sue Ryder, surveyed 500 people who had lost a spouse or partner within the past five years and found that 43% said their grief had actually heightened their desire for intimacy, yet 21% admitted they felt uneasy acknowledging this to others.
