There's no law on how long you have to mourn, and he may still be doing so, In olden days, widows and widowers often remarried very quickly, fathers needed a mother for their children, mothers needed someone to support them. It's not the same in this case of course but I don't find it callous.
Accept my condolences on the loss of your dear friends - they suffer no more and their partners must do what they feel is right.
This August I will have been a widow for 10 years, when was or will be the right time for me to move on?

My Mum promised my Dad (at a point when he was close to the end) that she'd not make any important decisions until at least 12 months after his death.
She kept her word (depite being desperate to move house to be nearer her grand-children).
In later years she said that the delay had caused her to waste many months of her life living on her own when she would have been better off enjoying her family.
So - it's not too soon - not at all.

A friend's father remarried at 6 months after being widowed (1965) and we took the view that it was his decision and his life.
Tongues wagged and the step mother turned out to be a bit of a tartar....
My mother's view by contrast was 'once was enough with your father'

George II's wife Caroline of Anspach I think had an absolutely horrific death - spontaneous rupture of the colon thro the abdo wall secondary to cancer. This was in the days before colostomy bags. (1740s). She then stubbornly refused to die and was subjected to red hot cautery to the tumour edges, bed ridden as she clung onto life apologising to all and sundry for the delay (they say)
She begged the tearful King to remarry - love match apparently - George was the one who said: I dont like Boetry and I dont Bainting
and he said - non non il y a toujours des maitrises
( no I mean maitresses, dont |I )
