You have my condolences. My mother died at 42, of the effects of a fall. My father remarried after about a year and a half; how heavily the care of my brother and myself weighed in his decision, I can't say. I will say that it must have been five years before he could mention my mother's name without clearing his throat. I wish that I had something useful to tell you, but really I don't, except that I'd urge you to think very carefully before moving where you now live, at least if the children are old enough to have formed friendships.
