Passed Away
Back in March a life long friend of mine died from a massive heart attack,he was 58,His Wife and Daughter loved him very much and is having a hard time dealing with the fact that he's gone.I'm not trying to move in and take control of her life or anything like that,but she knows that me and her family will do all we can do to help,I just want to know how long should a person wait to talk to her about seeing someone else(not me,I don't have much to offer except friendship )she was about 16 or 17 years younger then him and has a 16 year old Daughter and I don't know how she would take to her mom seeing another man.I'd like to see her find a nice guy that would treat them right,someone like me,but not me.What do you think?

Re: Passed Away
Grieving is same thing that is personal. You can't put a time frame on it. Her internal clock will tell her when it is right to more on.
She is a lucky lady to have such a good friend as you. You are doing what you can to help her with her grieving. When the time is right she needs to stress that she isn't looking for a replacement for their dad but a companion to help her put her life back together.

Re: Passed Away
Wow, March is not that long ago when you are thinking about a spouses death. I agree with HT, everyone grieves at a different rate. I would not bring it up at all at this point unless she mentions it. She really has to be ready. It could take well over a year. She truly is lucky to have you as her friend though!!

Re: Passed Away
Thanks for your answers,her Husband has a Harley Sportster they rode sometimes and Sat. they had a dice run and about 35 or so bikers showed up (including me) and after the run with the help of her family and friends,they had a little party to feed all the people and gave away things and sold tickets for prizes and a 50/50 drawing,after the drawing I saw her crying and people hugging her so I asked what was wrong?she said the people that won the money donated it back,then after a few minutes she looked at me and said her Husband would have loved to have been there with all these people,and I said yes he would have had alot of fun. So along with her family and friends,I'll keep an eye on her and help her when I can.Thanks

Re: Passed Away
You're a good friend! Yep, she probably needs more compassion than passion right now...
