When it comes to losing a spouse How long did it or would you say would be long enough to get...

My dad started seeing someone about two years after my mom passed. I really don’t have any advice to give someone on that.

It is hard to give advice to someone on this issue, because it seems to vary for each individual. Some people are ready in a few months to move on in a new relationship, and others may take years to do so. Everyone grieves differently. Taking it slow is good advice, and being mindful that there is no one answer that fits all situations.

It's different for everyone, life goes on, is she supposed to put her life on hold

There is no 'one size fits all'. Some start looking before their dead spouse's body has reached room temperature and others never look again. There is no right or wrong answer.

Difficult but like you say take it carefully incase they are not fully through the grief. I've no idea I'm luckily never suffered it.

Might be a rebound, might not. It depends on that person's relationship to the deceased.

I went through so much to find my wife, I have to say that if I ever lost her (god forbid) I would NOT do it again.
