Some time ago I was able to watch a TV show where they interviewed widows from 9/11 (women whose husbands died in the terror attacks). Majority of them had remarried a few years after their husbands died.
What do you think about this? Is this good or bad? Would you have done the same thing?

Well, a certain amount of time has passed since this terrible thing. If they don't move on, then they would be stagnant, and to me, that isn't fair nor is it good for them. I think it is best that he hold the memory of the loved one, but move on. I lost someone I really cared about about two and a half years ago, and I won't lie, I also had some other losses, and it was very hard to mourn him as well as the others. And it wasn't easy either. But I had to get over this in order to deal with my aunt, cousin, father and mother in laws passing all that transpired within a year's time. My dad and aunt was within six weeks of each other. Dealing with the loved one's passing was what got me over these so to be honest, I feel that it's a good thing for these folks to move on.

What a tragic time to go through with all those losses. I'm glad you were able to deal with it.

I believe that they should move one. The loved ones that they have lost would have wanted them to go on with their lives, and to be happy. I am sure they will never forget the ones they have lost and will always love them, but will not wish to spend the rest of their lives alone because of it.

Yes I'm sure they will not forget the loved ones they lost.
