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'm a judgemental turd.
