Jamba Habari! (hello, whats the news in Swahili)........
Over the years Trevor, several members have lost their partner/wife and then met another and settled down not long after losing their loved one, I mention this as others have been through what you are going through, the loss and bereavement, new beginnings and challenges. Some never get over it and remain locked in intractable grief. These days there are not any rules about relationships, as each is different. Perhaps your children will come round and perhaps they won't. All the best Trevor and Judy, I hope everything works out and you will both be very happy, positive thoughts
