Trying To Accept Mom's New Relationship

[SamR]

My Father passed suddenly of a neurological disease called CJD in August 2007. My Mom has already been dating since the 5 month mark. She is very old fashioned and I know hates the lonliness. I am trying my best to support her and not make her feel any worse, but, inside I am so hurt. I feel like I've lost two parents. Are there any ways to help me accept this change and truly be happy for my Mom?
