This is no longer the old days when a widow or widower had to wait a certain period to get involved again. You can date again as soon as you feel comfortable in doing so.Good luck.

I consider anybody who has reported that this is as much as you and it relies upon on once you experience waiting. I lost my husband at 28, grew to become into 7 mos. pregnant, and had a 4 year outdated son on the time. i ended up marrying my college sweetheart a pair of year and a nil.5 later (of direction we skipped the entire relationship factor as we already knew one yet another and had saved in touch so that's type of distinctive than ranging from scratch). some could say that with all of that occurring I have been given married too quickly yet after careful attention and prayer I made the determination that grew to become into ultimate for my little ones and myself even with what others had to assert. I say to you purely make certain you're genuinely waiting and then make the final determination for you. ultimately,(sorry to be see you later winded:) make certain you have given your self time to grieve and are not purely leaping into relationship to help ease your soreness.

When you are ready.
You need to make sure that you are not just acting out, or rebounding. You need to fully come to terms with your grief on your own, and then you can become involved with someone. Otherwise you run the risk of everyone getting hurt. So yeah no time frame can tell you when you are ready. Only you will know that, but make sure you give yourself lots of time to heal.
I am sorry for your loss, and best of luck for your future.

Best when she's "ready." That means pretty much recovered from the loss and not making poor choices.
For my mother I believe it was 8 months. The man she met up with courted her for 11 months and then they married. My parents had discussed their wishes that the other would find someone else if either of them were to die.

I would say a least a yr. If you have children it may be longer. You may want to talk to your children about it and see if it's okay with them. I have a co-worker who's husband died just a few wks from cancer. she immediatey found herself a boyfriend and move in w/him after a month or so...In my opinion I think that's just wrong. The husband just died not to long ago. At least give him the respect....

this might sound weird, but the way i see it is that..the spouse who died is not coming back. the only reason to "wait" is for the sake of others who have their own opinions of death or of the situation.
so it is up to the widow ..there's no official time period. and i don't believe it reflects on the marriage she had.

I was told it is 2 years. I think that is correct in my mind.
It also shows respect for her husband, and time to try to adjust to life
without him. I am sure, is they loved each other, she is probably lonely.
If she has men friends....friends only, I see no reason why she could not go out to dinner with them. However dating, in my opinion..no

This is a good question. I would say that it depends on the situation while you was married, and if there was no death due to being killed.

Usually at least 2 years is about right .

I think it all depends on the women and the relationship she had with her husband. My guess about a year.
