First, allow yourself time to grieve.  Also, when you're in doubt about something, just ask yourself what HE would have said.  But with time, allow yourself to be open to finding someone new.  Surely he wouldnt want you to be alone for the rest of your life? You wouldnt be replacing him.  There are many rooms in the heart...

Status: offline 		One of the hardest parts of imagining the future is knowing that He asked me last winter to promise to never be with anyone else if He should die before me. This was of course before he was diagnosed with his illness. Even after that we thought he had a few years and he only had four months. So I don't know if He really would've wanted me to move on at some point or not. I hate the thought of disrespecting His wishes.

Sorry for your loss, but that was pretty selfish.

Of course he would want you to be happy.  People say silly, romantic things all the time, because they think they are immortal, and it "will never happen to them."  As you said, he had no idea that he would actually die when the two of you had that conversation.

As long as you honor his memory forever, you are not disobeying him or cheating on him if you eventually give your body or your heart to someone else.

you are not disrespecting him by moving on...rather, you are respecting yourself.

What he asked of you was unfair and i cannot begin to imagine his rational for doing so. Irregardless of his reasons, they no longer matter. What matters is your take on his request.
He is not going to feel you dishonored him by moving on...the negativity will be held by you. Let it go before it destroys you.

Hugs,

Time might heal for you.
No-one can ever be eplaced as we are all unique.
But there will come a time when you will be able to stop comparing others to him.
There is always a spiritual reason for everything that appears to happen suddenly and for no reason.
There is a spiritual reason and by definition it is not ours to know.
My life has also been full of grief recently.
It is very very hard to bear especially when you have had a Master who has born so mush for you and on your behalf.
Love and hugs.
You are a youmg and beautiful woman. The future holds everything for you.

My thoughts are:
even marriage vows say until death do us part.
And you signed that promise during his living days: it was a living contract regardless of it's content.Promises are human...to forgive is divine.
Finally... everything geta resolved in my idea of heaven: that's the nature of the place.

You need to move on, you are young and have a lot of living to do. Personally, I would never want my male sub to be alone if I died, I would want him to find someone who would love and adore him as much as I do. I don't know why your Master would have said something like that. But I am sure he would want you to be happy again someday.

Gentle (()) meretricis
I am sorry for your lost.
Mourn him hun, as this is natural. When you need guidance, think of what he has already told you and do that. People say strange things while alive, but was not meant to be after death. You will get through this, and you will find another Master to love. Our hearts are to big to close others out.

My motto that I used when my husband died was to carry what we had forward and offer it to another. That honors what we had and him and keeps me in the physical world.

Blessings

Status: offline 		Everyone here has given you wonderful guidance and thoughts.   There is no set timetable, nor pattern, or footsteps that you can follow.   Grieve, remember him and the life you had with him, and honor him by moving on with your life.   No one, not even him, would want you to be lonely and miserable for the rest of your life.    Live life for you for a while.  Get your feet steady beneath you again, without him.   Find your happiness within yourself.   You will know when it's time to venture into a new relationship.

It's not going to be easy.  The biggest thing you can do to help yourself is allow others to help you.

That's terribly hard.  You have to know that he would have wanted you to be not just happy, but also safe and secure. 
And that will require your eventually moving to fill that hole in your soul.
When the time is right, you will be ready to do that, knowing that you have his blessing.

What? Say if she is not spiritual? 

Things that happen for no reason; yet the reason they happen are spiritual.  Because the nature of the reason, it is spiritual, it is unknown.

That is rough as hell Meret.  I can not begin to relate to how that feels.  Do not imply from this I am callous.  I know time takes everything we know from us.  Almost always it is unexpected and offers us little dignity.  But, it is my belief time if used effectively can heal us.  Use the time to find someone to listen.  Simply talking is an amazing and proven way to assist one self during any trauma. Find some methods to remove the stress.
