text: my boyfriend died in a horrible accident in front of me last year. his fam.and frien.do not want me to date.? the morning of his death he phoned me and told me to meet him for breakfast. he told me that he had to tell me how he felt about me. i found out later that day he was gonna propose. goodness, i loved him very much and would give anything to have him back with me but its not gonna happen. he died in my arms. after the ambulance took his body to the hospital i drove directly to wake his family and tell them what had occured. although i was coated heavily in his blood i did not want anybody else to tell them and once i broke the news i drove them to the hospital to identify his body. almost a year has passed and for quite awhile i had dreams reliving his death over and over. i've kept in contact with his family and friends. i thought my life was over and i would never find anyone that i would want to go out with again. but about a week ago i was asked out i did not reply yet and somehow this news was leaked.his family and friends say i have betrayed them and their loved one. what do i do? what you and your boyfriend shared was obviously something very special and to his family and friends you are basically the link to his last few moments.  since he loved you so much i am sure that he would want you to go on and live your life and be happy. you can't live in the past and you certainly can't let other people decide the path your life will take. you need the relationship and bonding that only a significant other person can offer.  you may want to sit down and talk with those who feel that you are betraying them or him and be open and honest about your feelings. don't let them stop you from discovering all that life has in store for you! my prayers are with you.
