[quote=Anonymous]I had a friend remarry quickly (less than two years) after her husband's death.  He was sick for a long time.

She still loves her first husband (and father of her children) more than anything.  She still mourns him and he is still a fixture in their lives.  She, along with her second husband, celebrate his life, talk about him often and raise money and awareness for the disease he faced.  Her love her first husband is clearly in no way diminished by her second marriage.  And her children are very happy about the marriage (yes, I do know this for a fact - probably better than any other aspect of the situation).

I cannot imagine how hard it is for you OP.  I have myself suffered a very close and significant loss of a family member that died way before their time and I know that type of loss is profound and life changing.  It must be very hard, when you are still entrenched in that loss, to see your mother "move on."  But one thing I heard from my friend is - if she found love and happiness again, which in and of itself feels like a miracle, why should she wait to celebrate that through marriage?  She hasn't moved on from her first husband's death, but life is moving forward without her first husband because that's what happens.
