Linda's experience with her first husband sounds so similar to mine - knowing right away that "this is it", being free to travel or move as desired, working together on unconventional projects. It breaks my heart to think of losing him, suddenly or not. I'm happy for her that she found another fellow so compatible, but I don't identify with the overwhelming urge to be in a couple. I can't imagine dating as a widow.
