I have a friend who passed away after a lengthy illness, and her husband is now dating about 6 months after it happened. My mutual friend is angry that I am not upset with him as she thinks it is too early for him to be doing so. Thoughts?

It's none of your mutual friend's business. Six months might seem a little on the short side, but who am I to judge? I've never experienced the death of a wife. I have no way of knowing how long is long enough, and I'm sure it's different for every person.

I agree, another factor to consider is the "lengthy illness" bit. I've never been in that situation either, but I imagine if I had a long time to prepare emotionally and mentally for the loss, I would not feel the need to spend so long grieving.

He was also almost certainly horrendously lonely for a long time before her death if he was her primary caregiver during her illness.
