I went through harsh and cruel conditions of love, but I don't quite understand your question "to see someone loosing"? do you mean leaving you?

Alright. I married and my husband became cruel. I didn't want this pattern of being unloved passing on to my children, so I taught my daughters to wait for the right person and to take time to get to know the person before marrying. Spend years in his company to know how he would react during difficult times; this is when you see someone's true character. I had so many dreams for my daughters but I thought that for myself, being in love would never be a dream I would realize and then... Love is all I had ever wanted. My mother hated me when I was born because I looked like her mother. Her mother had given her away during the Great Depression. My resemblance to her mother was a constant reminder of the woman she hated. Because I look nothing like "my father", he said that I wasn't his. I grew up with rejection. Having a husband who abused me was common to me and being loved, especially by a man, seemed like something unreachable and so I didn't reach, until... I had invested all of my time and energy in helping others obtain their dreams because I thought I couldn't have mine, at least I could enjoy being a part of another obtaining happiness but then...
I met someone who encouraged me and inspired me and I realized that I too could have love. it gave me the strength to walk out of the abusive marriage I found myself in but...He was married, although his wife was dying. I remained at their side bringing them comfort. After two years, she did pass away. But I was still married although separated and my husband had asked for a divorce... but this man was afraid of what the people would say and so he distanced himself from me and started to see another woman on the rebound of losing his wife. After a year had past, he married her. I was devastated. I couldn't even speak about it but would moan and groan in unintellible sounds that echoed the pain in my heart that mere words could not express. Three months after he married her, my husband suffered a stroke and a year later he passed away. I had stayed with this man comforting him for two years as he dealt with the loss of his wife, but he could not walk with me for two years. He couldn't wait to let things unfold and was afraid of being alone and married someone he felt comfortable with rather than waiting for what he truly desired. It was like two people rushing toward each other and yet when they get close they brush shoulders and go in divergent paths. Afterwards? We encountered each other at a Christmas dinner and I couldn't bring myself to shake his hand; I wouldn't let him touch me. He was hurt by my rejection and left the room to regain his composure. He has avoided being near me ever since. I believe I have forgiven him, but I won't know until I am near him again and see how I react to him.
What do I do now? I am determined not to close myself off. Now that I have had the opportunity to know that I can fall in love, I want to fall in love. So I wait for the one who will love me.

For the indepth story, you will have to get my autobiography, I Do.

Its just bad luck, i must say... i have been through very hard situation then this but after going through all what you said i think i must let you know what is really love is so here it goes...
Love is friendship set on fire.
Jeremy Taylor
If you judge people, you have no time to love them.
Mother Teresa
When you love someone, all your saved-up wishes start coming out.
Elizabeth Bowen
Neither a lofty degree of intelligence nor imagination nor both together go to the making of genius. Love, love, love, that is the soul of genius.
Mozart
He who wants to do good knocks at the gate: he who loves finds the door open.
Rabrindranath Tagore
If you love something, set it free; if it comes backs it's yours, if it doesn't, it never was
Richard Bach
Love: Two minds without a single thought.
Philip Barry
The mystery of love is greater than the mystery of death.
Unknown
Age does not protect you from love, but love to some extent protects you from age.
Jeanne Moreau
Love is eternal - the aspect may change, but not the essence There is the same difference in a person before and after he is in love as there is in an unlighted lamp and one that is burning. The lamp was there and was a good lamp, but now it is shedding light too, and that is its real function. And love makes one calmer about many things, and that way, one is more fit for one's work.
Vincent Van Gogh
Joy is a net of love by which you can catch souls.
Mother Teresa
To the world you may be one person, but to one person you may be the world.
Bill Wilson
Love begins with a smile, grows with a kiss, and ends with a teardrop.
