[quote=Anonymous]I'm so sorry to hear about this, OP. I would be very upset by this too. I didn't read through all of the replies, but I have talked about this with friends who have been through similar situations with their parents. One of my friends lost his father to brain cancer when he was young, and his mother remarried very quickly. His mother started the relationship with her second husband before her first husband passed away. My friend is still not over it. I've heard that when someone battles a long, often terminal illness, the surviving spouse has often been grieving the whole time. They act as caretaker for so long and carry the weight of the illness with them for months or years. When their spouse eventually dies, it comes as a relief, and they are ready to move on with their life much quicker than other loved ones who did not have to take on the role of daily caretaker. Maybe that is what happened here? [/quote]
