Yes, Ted, I guess there has to be a turning point when your mind (or heart) finally says “okay we have done our grieving, but it is now time resume life with enthusiasm.” There is no disrespect here, and is what your wife would have wanted.

I have often heard of the clocks stopping with someone’s passing too, but it could be caused by inattention to replacing batteries etc, but still a coincidence. Thank you for sharing this, and I wish you well moving forward.
