should this happen?

I'm so sorry about your Mom first off. That's terrible. But of course your Dad should be allowed to move on. 9 years is a LONG time. I waited 3 years after my husband passed. Fact is, I knew my late hubby would have wanted me to move on.........and he probably wouldn't have waited 3 weeks. lol And your Mom would want your Dad to move on too. They don't sit on the other side and spite their former loved ones for moving on. They don't want us to be miserable. And further more......we don't deserve to be miserable.

If he has found some one that makes both him and you happy then I'd say by all means. I included you since I'm not sure if you are still living at home or not.

But, why shouldn't he get remarried if he wants to. Every one deserves to be happy and there is no reason that he shouldn't get remarried. It isn't being disrespectful to your mom's memory, she will always be a part of your life, she was your mom after all.

And your mom was special to you in ways that no one can ever imagine, so she will always be your mom.

So, I'd say Yes he should get married again if that is what is going to make him happy.

Best Wishes to your dad and your family if he does get remarried. Take care.

That's really up to him. Being widowed is very very lonely. He may have found someone special that he loves. This doesn't mean that he has stopped loving your mom. But he realizes that he loves someone else too, and is able to marry again. If he is going to marry again, try to get to know the new wife. She will probably be terrified that you are going to hate her. Keep in mind that she is not taking the place of your mom. No one can ever do that. Be open and honest with her and your dad.

I hope all goes well with your family.

My mom died 6 years ago, my dad remarried 2 years after her death. I would much rather have my dad be happy, than be alone. Honestly I cant stand the woman he married AT ALL... But she is HIS wife, NOT my mom.

Your dad has the right to be happy no matter what life brings....if getting married again would make your dad happy then by all means support that decision. Trust me he will want your approval for this...give it to him. Wouldn't your mom want to see your dad happy???

Don't you want your Dad to be happy?
If getting remarried would make him happy, then you should be supportive of him. Your Mom has been gone a long time, and he wouldn't be dishonoring her by having a wife. I'm sure SHE would want him to be happy!

I am sure this is very hard for you , but would you want your dad to stay alone ? would your mom have wanted him to be alone? Your mom married him because she Loved him and wanted him to be happy ....she would not have wanted him to stay sad............she also had you and Loved you .She would want you to be happy.......nothing makes parents sadder then seeing their children hurt ........give both of you a chance and try to be friends with your dads wife to be.. she didn't have anything to do with your mom's death .... I wish you well... as a mother who Loves her children ......I only wish them happiness...and you too

yes, don't you want your dad to be happy ?? if getting re-married is going to let him be happy again then let him. the two of you have had plenty of time to grieve and move on so let him move one. don't you think you mom probably would have wanted him and you to be happy as well ??

he's only human. He can get married again he's widowed not dead himself. Just remember that he loved your mom and still loves her, he also cares about this other lady.
