I went through the same situation and chose to marry again after my husband died. It was the best decision I made. None of my children remained upset once they saw that I was happy.

She deserves it a thousand times over. A happy mother is better for her children than a mother who sacrifices and breaks herself for the rest of her life.

Marriage is a religious and human right with no age limit. Children grow up and build lives of their own, and you deserve companionship.

Marriage would be better for her, but she must find a man who is mindful of God in how he treats her and her children—a God-fearing man who maintains his prayers.
