When is it Okay to Move On and Start Dating?

When is it okay to move on after losing a relationship, either to death or divorce, and when is it too soon? What about the dreaded "one-year rule?" And what about the kids? Should they have a veto? We talk about these issues, and handle a listener question from a man who's begun to date less than a year after his wife's death.
