[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] Also understand that this is not temporary because of grief. At that age, spousal loss is often the trigger to terminal decline. You’ll save yourself a lot of pain and regret, OP, if you start planning for that now. [/quote] Actually, a fair number of men like him (recently having lost a spouse from a long and happy marriage) will remarry and often to a close friend of the late wife who is also widowed. I am in the 70s age group and have seen this pattern happen a number of times with men I personally know Of course, it's too soon for him in this case, but it would be good for him to start socializing with his old group of friends, this time as a single man. You might gently encourage him to start doing this because he would be better off spending some of his time with them than trying to use his children to assuage his loneliness. And better for you as well. [/quote]
