When adult children oppose a widowed parent's new relationship

My adult children and I disagree about whether I should remarry five years after their mother died — they think it's too soon and disrespectful to her memory.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Grief has different timelines and new love can feel like betrayal to those still living in the memory of old love.
