Does anyone have a parent that remarried after the death of their spouse? (M)

My dad died 3 years ago and I would so love my mother to remarry or at least begin to live again. She is so miserable and hurting that I don't know what to do for her any more. She already goes to a shrink and she has been in bereavement groups but I feel so bad for her. I spend so much time with her and she gets mad when I go home to my husband or out with friends. I think I am starting to loose my mind.

Sorry to hear that!

My dad passed away last august and my mother remarried a couple of weeks ago. It's awful. My entire family hates this guy. My mom and dad were married for 35 years! And now she married the first loser that showed her any interest. She's still very much grieving and I'm sure her rush to re-marry was just an attempt to ease some pain. She's better off without him!


I wish you and your mother much happiness. I'm sure when she finds someone, it will be the right time. Everyone grieves in different ways. It's so sweet that you are so concerned for your mom.

my father has been gone for 5 years now and mom married about 3 years ago. she also was still grief stricken and married the first guy that she met after having not been on a date for 31 years. he isnt a bad guy although i was totally against it in the beggining but i know she isnt 100 percent happy like i would like her to be. they are two totally different people and have different ways of doing things and she is always upset. i wish she would just leave she can gladly come and live with me.

I lost my father about a year and a half ago. My mother has tried dating and is interested in it but there aren't many good guys out there. She hasn't gone to a berevement group but sometimes I wish that she would. I think if I bring it up it will just hurt her more. I know that she is lonley and misses my father. I wish there was something I could do. And though I get together with her often and call her all the time (plus she has a great group of friends) I know she gets upset (though she is happy for me at the same time) when I leave or somewhere. It sounds like we are in the same boat. Please FM me if you would ever like to chat!

My father died about 12 years ago and my mother never dated since then. She will sometimes say she would like the companionship of a man but feels deep deep in her heart that there is no man better then my father and couldn't imagine settling for anything less.

I am sorry your mother is so hard on you, that has to be so difficult.

My Dad passed away 8 years ago. My Mom says that she will never date that my Dad was the only man for her. The passing of my Dad was made my mom very bitter. She is not an easy person to deal with.

My dad passed away 13 years ago. My mom started dating my dads friend!!! about 2 years after he was gone. They have been together ever since. No one in my family likes him, I am the only one who is able to let that come across. I hate looking at him, saying his name, even thinking that he is living in MY house with MY MOTHER thinking its his. He is a mooch. My mom pays for everything. He smokes in the house, around my mother which completly pisses me off. Grrrrr... I wish my dad was here, he'd kick his A$$.
