It may be profound. I disagree with the statement.

What's your longest relationship? Do you love that person more now than when you met? Will you love them more in the future? Love isn't static.

It seems most people don't have that kind of patience, unfortunately.Maybe the most profound thing I have ever heard anyone say.
It is extremely painful when that true love passes away. Years to grow together, gone in the blink of an eye.

Possibly the meaning is different. I personally believe that love, is living together, having kids together, looking after one another, being together. So yes that does take a lifetime to happen. Love isn't sex, Love is IMHO as I said, is those things and more. Of course at the beginning there is the attraction, but that changes and evolves. We change, some of us for the better some for the worse. The sad thing about is that the love we build during our lifetime is not always appreciated. Today I think that people separate or divorce far too quickly, not really giving life together a chance. Then of course there are those that stay together for the kids, which IMHO is not a solution to people who do not get on and harm the kids even more by the animosity which is between them. It's a difficult thing because we are all expected to stay in love forever, and that's just not how it works.....Maybe the most profound thing I have ever heard anyone say.

41 years until she passed. Love grew and never diminished. Not possible now. Agreed.What's your longest relationship? Do you love that person more now than when you met? Will you love them more in the future? Love isn't static.

The only thing I can think of that is worse than losing a partner would be losing a child.

True, though I haven't experienced losing a child, I have experienced losing my husband after 25 years together.The only thing I can think of that is worse than losing a partner would be losing a child.
I feel worse for his mother. He passed away in her home.
Picking up on some of the comments above, I lost my first wife and my son in one road accident many, many years ago. The basic pain never leaves and, some days, I am reminded of their loss. I am, however, often reminded of her love for me, the smile on her face as she introduced me to our son for the first time (late 70s!) and the few short years we had together as a family.
In my mind, the way to honour them is to remember the great days, the smiles, the laughter, the love that created a little human who, if I am honest, was definitely Daddy's little boy... and the look of contentment on her face as she watched her husband and her son behaving as badly as each other LOL

Sorry for your loss. Love does grow and grow. Lost my wife two years ago. I have some of the most amazing memories! I know you do as well.

Well then you understand the loss, and how it impacts life. I am only now beginning to think about how best to enjoy life without her.

My wife and I joke about our "love at first sight", it's even our song. But in reality, it probably wasn't. It was lust at first sight, absolutely. Our third date ended with the best sex I'd ever had. But it certainly didn't take more than a couple of weeks at least for me. We just kept looking at one another as the weeks went by, amazed at how perfect things were between us. No red flags, open honesty, and clearly understood intentions. Thirty-two years have passed and I've never had a moment's doubt.
To those who have lost their love, you have my most profound sympathies. My best friend lost his after 6 brief years of happiness and twelve years later he still isn't close to whole. I cherish every day with my Lisa, knowing that tomorrow is never guaranteed. Be well.

I'm a believer in cosmic connections... Or "fate" if you will.
I met a man when I was 22. He was a friend's brother. The first time I met that man, a
ding went off in my head..." I'm marrying him someday!".. so, it wasn't love at first sight, it was something more intense.
I married him 2 years later. He died 2 years ago.
My longest online friendship lasted 12 years. I loved him, but it was because my mental health at the time I met him until we had to stop talking was far below par. But, he remained my online friend regardless for 12 years. So, what's not to love about that?

True that, we are all destined for the grave. Some earlier than others. It is what what we do in the time we have that matters.
