Shocking, shameless indeed.
The blonde blue Peter presenter who lost his wife to cancer had a new girlfriend within week iirc

Sorry, I missed this but you're right. When he remarried another woman, he blamed it on his young son, not having 'a mother'.

Utter garbage!

Its not just the partner that grieves, its the whole family so it feels a bit selfish to go into another relationship so quickly, or at least try and keep it to yourself so you are not upsetting anyone

I wouldn’t begrudge her some happiness after what she has been through.

Turns out he’s a killer, she knows how to pick ‘em

i don't think you can judge anyone in those circumstances, you dont know what psychological trauma they have been through

I've never been happy with people remarrying not long after the death of their long-term partners/husbands or wives.

To me, it's like 'he's dead; she's dead -NEXT!'

Rather heartless in my view. I've been single for 10 years. Okay, I choose this lifestyle. But surely the people whose partners, wives, husbands have died, can't be that desperate to remarry or get into another relationship.

When I heard that James Whale remarried a woman one year after the death of his wife of 40 years, I just winced. No respect there whatsoever. Selfish in fact. And sort of saying that again, 'she's dead, NEXT!'

She deserves to find happiness again.
My kids have been told numerous times over the years that when I go, they must welcome a new partner for hubby if he wants and finds one.
My sister lost her husband in her late thirties and went through hell with her kids when she found someone new.

Your kids have their own life now and no longer live at home so what your husband does is really not going to affect their lives apart from inheritance

When kids are very young, its understandable that replacing a partner very soon after losing them would cause angst

When my mum found out she was dying, she summoned me and said the same thing (well her exact words were I was not to be a bitch if my dad found someone else and be nice to the new lady). My dad is totally a one woman man though and he can't even think about being with anyone other than my mum...bless him

March seems like last week to me. No problem with her finding love in the future but for it to be so soon is defo distasteful.
