[quote=Anonymous]I'm widowed and I belong to a large group for widowed people in the DMV. I think it's a mix. Some men move on quickly, especially if the wife was ill for a long time. They experienced a lot of anticipatory grief and are almost relieve when it is over. Those men tend to move on quickly. There really isn't a rule though. Even men who move on quickly do not always bounce back very well in a new relationship. They may compare the new gf to their late wife or have grief attacks that someone who hasn't lost a spouse may not understand or feel comfortable with. I also do not like the expression 'moving on'. We usually say 'moving forward'. I wouldn't wish this road on anyone. It's really hard, but there can be happiness and love again.[/quote]
