DEAR DEIDRE: WHEN my aunt died last year I was devastated.
But now I’m worried I’m falling for her widower, my uncle.
She was only 52 when she died. I’m 37 and had split with my husband just before her death.
I’ve always got on with my uncle but recently we have spent a lot more time together, planning the funeral and memorial.
I know my family wouldn’t approve and I don’t think he feels the same way but I can’t move on.
My uncle is 53. Should I talk to him?

DEIDRE SAYS: You and your uncle are both united in grief, which brings up strong emotions.
Your aunt’s death is still very recent, so you should not do anything rash.
I would advise you to start spending more time with a wider range of people.
This will help you reflect on your feelings.
Talking to your uncle may ruin your friendship, especially as you don’t think your feelings are reciprocated.
Reading my support pack Moving On will help you.
