My husband was sick for 2 years and died 4 months ago. I lost a little of him every day along the way and when he died, I had such a sense of loss but most of my grieving process was throughout the disease.
I'm starting to think about dating now because I want to move on with my life. You, too, will have this realization all on your own.

When you and your children if you have any, feel that it is the right time.. If you do have children, ask them.. and talk with them about it, It's their loss to..People grieve differently, and there are people that have known for a long time that their spouse was going to pass soon.so they have already been grieving for sometime..When ever you feel that it's time to move on, is the best time, dating is one thing, marriage is another.

If u have given yourself time to grieve and feel emotionally strong enough to allow someone else into your life, then yes.
Nobody expects u to remain alone just because your spouse has passed. You deserve to be happy, so do what makes u happy.
Good luck.

There is no real definite time that a widow or widower should start to reenter the dating field. Custom dictates that you get over your grieiving for the one you love if possible and move very carefully and preoceed with caution. You don't want to get involveed with someone on the rebound.

There's no rule on when you can date. You do that whenever you're ready and want to...the next day if you want!!!
Okay, I guess I deserved that 2 thumbs down for that "next day" comment...but I think what I'm trying to say is that it's different for everyone and there's no real rule on this. There's no law that says you have to wait a certain period of time, is there? It's okay to date again when the person feels like it. So there's no wrong answer.

When you feel ready. If you mean when is socially acceptable by others, it would depend on how much you care about what they think. After that, if you still need a timeline, my opinion would be about 1 year.

As soon as you are ready.Your spouse wouldn't want you to live the rest of your life without love.

That's all up to you to decide. You can either get on with your life or become depressed about your loss. Your choice, make it a smart one.

At least a year of mourning. I understand the need to be close and feel that once again but it is disrespectful to jump into it right away.
