Will having help a widow to move on with her life ?

The romantic idea seems to be that the grief-stricken widow finally has with a really hot guy, - and than is able to begin puttiing the memory of her husband behind her. In reality, could this only be asking for more grief ? ...Or maybe it really does help her to begin moving on. I need to move on,now, my husband's been gone for 16 months. I'm just not looking for any more heartache.
