DEAR DEIDRE: LESS than two years after my mum died, my dad has fallen in love with another woman.
I’m happy for him but I feel like it’s too soon, and it’s making my grief worse.
I’m a 30-year-old woman and Mum was only 56 when she died. Dad is 58, and his new partner is 47.
As an only child, I was always very close to my mum and was heartbroken when I found out she had terminal melanoma four years ago.
Watching her suffer so much almost broke me, but I had to be strong for her.
