Widower here. I was ready to date before the kids were ready for me to date. Don’t rush them.[/quote]

My mother died when I was in my late teens.  My dad did not date again for years and I would have been fine with him dating again sooner.  I never felt like he was trying to replace my mom or anything and that it was hard for him being alone after my brother and I were out of the house.  I know even decades later and since his remarriage, he still misses my mom.  I think it would be a harder if the marriage had been rocky.

I wanted to add .. my mom's passing was not sudden.  at all.  So we also processed some of our grief before her actual passing.   I think there is some truth to men just needing someone, especially if they've been married a long time.

Yeah but it’s no longer the 70s. There aren’t many women rushing to snag a single parent dad. At least not in a metropolitan town like DC. [/quote]
