Dad died of cancer a year ago, Mom told me she's going on a date tonight and I'm distraught.

Hey all. Don't know where else to turn to about this. My dad (70) died rapidly and suddenly last year. It has been extremely rough for my mother (69) and I this past year, but we are doing better every day. Today she told me that she is going to dinner and a show with a man she met a few weeks ago. She's all giddy about it and went and got her hair done today. I am spiraling out of control and in tears. My dad's death feels so fresh to me still. He was my best friend.

I know that my mom is free to do whatever she wants and that going on a date is her own way to deal with her grief of losing her spouse of 40 years. But how do I deal with my own grief about it, feeling like my father is being replaced and that she is moving on (how I feel, not how she feels)
