I am a judgemental turd
I read the Fat Cyclist's blog today, to find that he is dating someone. You'll recall that his wife died only a few months ago. Every single comment on the blog is along the lines of "congrats, so happy for you" etc. But all I can think is.. his wife's body isn't even cold yet. I certainly don't want to write that as a comment on his blog, so I'm writing it on mine instead.
So. Just how long should one wait after losing their spouse? What's an appropriate length of time? A day? A week? A month? A year? How long should one mourn before moving on? If his wife had died suddenly, unexpectedly, would he have waited longer? Shorter? I don't know. It just seems a little bit odd to me. And, somehow, disrespectful.

I dont think there is a set amount and I think no matter the actual amount of time it does take someone will take issue with it. I guess its up to the individual. I think it took some balls for the guy to come out and basically tell a few hundred thousand people that he is dating someone, knowing that some would think its too soon. I know I sure as hell hope and pray I never have to make the decision for myself.
