So flying off to romantic getaways while you leave your kids at home with family members is ok two months after your wife's funeral? Sorry, I don't think that is ok.[/quote]

Yes, I think that is fine.  Caring someone dying of cancer is so emotionally draining.  it is absolutely OK to just be done with it by then and ready to try to find some joy again.

Have you been an end of life caretaker for someone you love before?  You likely saw your friend every week or two for an hour.  and it was emotionally difficult for you.  Imagine if that is your constant life.  also, cancer can be very uncomfortable at the end.  He very likely felt it was a relief when she passed.  outsiders might think that is awful but it is REALLY not.  If you just sit there and mourn, you will likely end up in a spiral of very strong depression.  many people need to get out and try to regain a normal life and for some people, that includes a partner.[/quote]
