In our society, how willing a grownup kid would be (lets say 18 +) to force his/her mom or dad to remarry after the death of the other parent.

Somehow it looked upon as a taboo in our society, especially if the kid himself/herself is reaching the age of marriage.

Do you know of any such case. God forbid, if you are in such situation, what would you do? Lets assume that the surviving parent is younger than 55.

I think I would encourage my parent to marry again. It would be hard to accept it, would definitely be awkward, but such a young parent should have the company of a spouse. If that doesn’t work out then at least the parent has their kids and grandkids to spend the rest of the life with.
