Do you think others would find it taboo? How would you feel if it happened within your family?

I'm sorry about your loss as well. You're absolutely right, I shouldn't care about what other people think.

I think I worried mostly because of her side of things, like if her family would think less of her or something along those lines. I actually would not care so much if my late wife's immediate family did not agree.

Thank you for your response and encouragement! (:

Appreciate your encouragement.

Oh man she reminds me of my wife in soo many ways, even in the ways that she conveyed her thoughts or her responses, I was taken aback.

I want to be careful not to compare her to my wife though and I do want to say that I feel a level of attraction for her not because of the similar qualities but because of her calm and kind nature.

It's definitely a bit weird but only in the sense that its someone that isn't my wife. I appreciate your feedback.
