    you don't have to get remarried you can still be happy along because you will always have her and you kids. So spend time with your kids and don't neglect them, be there for them, it might be easier on then to not get remarried. Her memory will always be there and you hearts will always belong to each other.

    Your entitled to find someone else to share your life with, but a month seems to soon to me and i'm sure your family will feel the same. Take some time to get to know yourself better, and your kids, do things together...

    Then maybe after an exceptable amount of time has passed say year, then start looking, but start slow, it has been awhile since you dated, get a friend to talk to to help you get back out there, but for now, just like i said get to know yourself better and spend some fun times with your kids.

    Seven years is a long time. Dating this early would be sort of disrespectful to her, don't you think? I'm sure though, as she's up in Heaven or wherever, she wants nothing but happiness for you. I'm not saying to never find love again, but wait a while...It's a bit early to make that jump just yet. I'm really sorry for your loss.

    A month after she passed seems soon to me. Seven years is such a long time to spend with someone- do what you want, but think of your kids first right now.

    I think you should wait a while,say at least a year before dating again.It is wrong to start a relationship with someone else just to fill the void.

    You have to ask yourself...why do you want to move on so fast? Is it to keep your mind off of her? Did she have an illness that you knew this was coming? Was it sudden? You need time to grieve....to cry.....you do have those children to think about...they lost their mommy. Remember, you dating also means you not having time to be there for them.
