After the death, how do I help my kids cope if I decide to remarry?
If you do decide to remarry, it's important that you help your kids cope with this concept that will be very foreign to them. For them, they are going to just want to not feel like their mother or father can ever be replaced. If you can, let them know that there is no way anyone else can be that person again. This may be a new companion to you but it is not a new mother or new father to them. If your partner is willing to have those talks, to say how much they honor the idea of your children's mother and father and they would never want to take their place, that can be very helpful.
