I think all of those things go into the mix of "being ready."

Typical Fairhaven. That has always absolutely disgusted me. I wonder who the staff had picked out for him.
And preparing mentally for your next wife while your wife is dying...is adultery.
I'm not against Mr. Leslie as a person, I am against this concept. Grief is REAL. It takes TIME. Jumping from a committed marriage/faithfulness and dealing with an empty home, and being able to transfer commitment and affection to someone else within a few short months of your spouse's death just blew my mind every time it happened there. I can't think of when it didn't happen when I was there. This is not even fair to the new spouse trying to learn a new marriage and deal with a grieving husband and family at the same time.
How sad I'd feel, fighting for my life and knowing my "replacement" is being considered. I would hope my family and children--no matter what their needs level--would be helped by my church family.
I've always had a very strong opinion on this subject, obviously.
When would you be ready?
If it were the husband who passed away...well, as soon as the widow is re-married, they automatically start referring to her children with the NEW husband's last name. OH MY! Children who were his last living legacy to carry on his name.....taken away. It seems merciless to me. Who are they to orchestrate lives like this?
