A Year and A Day

[Trouvere]

I don't know if its just cultural tradition but growing up acadian ,people mourned their loved ones a year and a day.Reading about someone remarrying and having asked how long was the spouse deceased got me to thinking along these terms.I have heard it remarked in the last year of preachers who were dating in six weeks.I am sure that each case is different and I am sure there are a hundred opinions but for myself I would not be comfortable running out and finding another person so soon.I have over twenty years invested in marriage and children.This isn't just a date or a going steady relationship.
We are married.When this person dies I am not going to be ready to run out and shop for a spouse.I never hear from any of the churchs what and where
holiness comes into play in this instance.
I read that cc1's pastor remarried but it was after a year or more.I would be interested in knowing what he preaches concerning this.I understand that some feel they won't have but a few years left but that does not matter as far as Jesus is concerned.
What does your church teach? What do you teach? Do you even go there
in teaching? What about your culture? There are cultures that feel differently about remarriage.Thanks in advance for your replies.One day some of us may face this issue.I can't ignore the fact that as days pass I am not getting any younger.
