Whenever she is ready to start dating, she should start dating. No one else should have a say in the matter.

Long as she wants??
My sister in law waited a whole 4 months after her husband killed himself. .... marriage didn’t last long.
She herself is fantastic!! Her decisions though??? Problematic.

@nonsensiclesnail 😲 A whole 4 months? She must have really loved him.

@LoveTriumphsOverHate lol I exactly. And she needed a baby sitter. Once the kids were in school she married the next their daddy figure. I give it 5 more years till they are out of high school before she moves on.

He’s just as dead a week after death as he is 5-10 years later.

@Watching Yeah but a week later? Surely, any woman who loved her husband would take a few weeks to mourn his untimely demise. Then again, she has to go on with her life. She can't mourn forever.
