“until death do us part”
Your mom will always be your mom. And I doubt your dad is remarrying to replace her. He is remarrying because humans need companionship on this earth. We aren’t meant to go alone.
That being said, I probably won’t ever remarry if I outlive my wife.

I’ve been married to my wife for nearly 11 years and if I were to lose her right now, no fricking way would I even start dating again in the first few years, at least. I can’t imagine losing her after 50 years then planning on marrying someone else after a few months.
I’m with you, baw. I would have also issues with that if in your situation. However, like others have said, your dad deserves to be happy too.

You will be happier when you accept it is not about you.

Ahhh yes, new pussy still undefeated.
Be happy for your dad, this ain’t about you Tommy Boy.
Make sure that dad’s new wife isn’t trying to steal away The Callahan Break Pads company.

My dad has been alone for the last 2 years. He had remarried after he and my mom divorced. His second wife died unexpectedly 2 years ago. I don't wish being alone on anyone's dad. I honestly wish that he would find someone.
This. My parents were married over 20 yrs and have been divorced over 30 yrs. My daddy never wanted to remarry and still loves my mom to this day. They’re actually very good friends. He was quite the ladies man and never let women get too close bf pushing them away but he has been seeing a lady 20 yrs younger than him (a widow) for 4-5 years. Neither wants to get married and they see each other a few days every week. It works for them but I have always worried about my daddy. He’s 74 and I don’t want him to die alone.

Seriously, if mom was so smart, why didn’t she leave money to the op, unless she was and didn’t want him to have any.

My mother is seeing someone who is a great guy. They would marry but financially it doesn't benefit them. Nonetheless, he has made her happy and even brought my splintered fa.ily together. Be open to them finding happiness and ready to handle it if it goes south.

My mother passed away a few months ago. My father is already planning on remarrying. They were married for 50 years. I think he’s lonely and afraid, but it also seems he’s found love again.
Of course, I’m bewildered. Hurting for losing my mom, hurting how quickly my dad has “moved on.” I want him to be happy, but also feel like I’m losing him. It’s a lot to process.
Male widowers tend to remarry fast while female widowers tend to stay single for the rest of their lives. Men need someone to take care of them once they've become accustomed to that. It's just the way the world works.

I've certainly heard that, but have seen little evidence of it. Some people want to remarry and do so, others don't. Who are these male widowers marrying?
My uncle's wife passed and the casserole brigade latched onto him real fast. He told my dad he had to marry one of them to get them to leave him the hell alone.

Your parents are married to each other not to you. One dies, the other can remarry. Thats from the bible.

Master, Moses wrote unto us, If a man's brother die, and leave his wife behind him, and leave no children, that his brother should take his wife, and raise up seed unto his brother." (Mark 12:19)
The Bible isn’t exactly a good place to find your morals

Any suggestions on processing?
You need to put yourself in the shoes of the lonely survivor. After 50 yrs of marriage he will never forget her but living alone and depressed will drive him to lose his will to keep on living.

Gold digger. Any extra bucks works at any age. If he has a pension, social security and investment income he is a prize. Dont be surprised if when he passes the 2nd wife gets all or a large portion of his estate. I've seen this happen twice to friends of mine.

Those sandwiches don't just suddenly start making themselves after all those years. Even old men have needs.

My father's father did it like 8 months after his wife died. My mother's mother though stayed single for the remaining 10 years of her life.
