Unexpected death, 40 years old. Had some medical issues but nothing to think she would pass away at that age. Two kids together.

I know a guy who’s wife had terminal cancer and had been hanging on for quite some time. She wanted him to try to find some companion before she died so that he had someone/wouldn’t be alone. He said while he deeply cares for this new woman, he would never be able to love anyone like his wife again. To make matters better, this woman also lost her husband years ago so both were kinda on the same page.
People grieve in different ways and it depends on the circumstances.

Honestly if my wife were to die then I wouldn't date until my kids were out on their own.

You can ask that filthy blackwidow whore that is my step mother and shed agree with your cousin. fricking bitch had multiple dates within 3 weeks of my Dad dying of a heart attack at her side.

A cousin of mine passed away not long ago and her widower was literally dating someone else within 5 weeks. Plenty of pics on Facebook of the new couple doing things that just don’t seem normal for someone who just lost their spouse. Pictures of them going on vacation, going to concerts, and of him cooking her breakfast all within less than three months of her death.
I'd think it was odd if it were just several months. Depending on the circumstances I think it'd be odd within a year (or more) if it was a long relationship with kids and the like.
But almost as importantly is the social media aspect. I've seen this scenario and IMO it's pretty disrespectful to go flaunting a new relationship weeks or a couple months after the death of a spouse. Yes, you have to live your life and if you strike gold with a healthy relationship soon after, it's probably a great thing. But it's going to go over poorly with the deceased's family and I don't blame them (as seems to be the case here).

I had a friend in college whose mother died unexpectedly. Her father remarried within a year.

A friend of mine had a wife die of cancer. 10 year struggle. He was there no matter what. They were married for 30+ years. When she finally passed, he made it about 4 weeks before meeting a lady at the store. They got married a year later.
His kids weren't really okay with it...until they saw their dad turn into the guy he was 10 years ago.
You do you.

She had a cerebral henorrhage while they were out at a restaurant.

If I died and my wife found comfort in someone else she can take him to my funeral for all i care.

Some people just aren’t good alone. I won’t fault someone that’s grieving trying to find comfort and help

It’s his call. My wife died unexpectedly nearly two years ago. I’m just not ready to date. It does not feel right yet but I think I’ll be there soon.
I think it’s too soon but to each his own.

Women tend to get over their spouses dying pretty quickly. I see it all the time
Men take much longer to grieve

I know it sounds kind of dumb and shitty, but the vow literally says “till death do us part.”
Posted on 8/1/19 at 5:27 pm to FlagLake
How did your cousin pass? Was it a long time Illness with long time suffering? Was it quick? If it was a long drawn out process, a bunch of the moving on and closure probably happened before your cousin passed.

I don’t think it’s ever ok to date anyone after your spouse dies.
