  • The proper (grieving) or mourning time for widow is up to that individual. It can take several months or a few years depending on how close she was to her husband. One cannot rush the grieving process, but, after a year the widow should start getting out with friends and back into the dating circuit if they so choose. If a young woman is mourning her husband, but lonely then 6 - 8 months is generally considered (if anything) etiquette to mourn the one you love. The days of walking around somber in black clothing has long past, but respect for the deceased husband should always be there. Life does go on after our loved ones pass on.

Should a married man say I love you to his friend's mourning wife?

* No, the man should keep his feelings to himself while the widow is in mourning. He could be there as a friend and give her time to adjust to living life alone. When he feels that she has gotten over her grief and is dealing with her new way of life then he could ask her out on a date and if she accepts, date a few times and that is the time he should tell her how he feels.
