How long should a widow man wait to find a partner?

[natashaspy]

It's a difficult thing to lose a sibling so I can understand that you were upset as if she was being replace.  I think the length of time depends on the person. Some people just have a hard time living alone after losing a spouse.  Others wouldn't want another person with them.  Sending lots of prayers your way that you find peace.

When someones spouse pass away and the person left behind starts dating again, it will take some time to get use to.  Not sure why your brother in law is dating is looking for someone just 5 weeks after his wife's death seems to be a bit too early.  It can be because he doesn't like being alone without a companion.  Has he told his children about this woman or is he waiting to get to know this person more indepth before the introduction?

I had a friend some years ago that remarried within 3 months of his wife's death.  We all thought it was too soon but it was his life and his decision.

I am sorry to hear you lost your sister. That is a big deal, as is the loss of a wife to your dear brother in law. However, 5 weeks is a very short time to be grieving for the mother of one's children so I can totally understand your perspective. I wonder if your sister was ill for a very long time and perhaps his acceptance of her leaving this world may have been a little earlier than yours. Obviously you knew your sister for a much longer period of time so I should think it may take much longer to grieve. I know we're all different and we all grieve differently, however if m sister died and her husband was dating within 5 weeks, I would be devastated.

If she make's him happy or feel better about the situation. I don't think time should matter.

it's hard to say,It could be any day/week/month/year all depends on him, You can even set him up on a blind date.
