Thanks for valuable suggestions. to my questions(My dad died, how can I get my mum into a new relationship?)
It's 3 year now that my dad passed away....
i just want to know how can i approach her and tell her that she can go ahead and have good relationship again and that she don't have to worry abt me... as i think that coz of me she is restricting her from going in relation with someone.... :)

I agree, it depends a lot on how long ago your father died. She may not be ready to date, may not ever want to date, or may feel guilty about dating someone else.
If it's been a few years, kindly suggest that if she did meet someone new that you or anyone else would not hold it against her, and that you're sure that your father would want her to be happy even if it meant being with someone new. It's definitely up to her if she wants to or not and you can't force it on her. She may be content with the fact that she was married and raised amazing children that care about her well being. So it's ok to make a suggestion because afterall, you're only suggesting it because you love her and want her to be happy.

If it has been more than a few years, then perhaps she could need a little nudge and encouragement that, there are many great guys out there and that she doesn't need to feel guilty about liking someone else, and spending the rest of her life single. If it is recent, then she probably needs more time to even think about dating again, as the loss is raw for both of you. If it is the latter, leave it be, and wait for her to grieve recover in her own time. If it's the former, then perhaps you could talk to her (at the right time, as this is a sensitive subject for her and you).

 How long has it been since your dad died? Maybe she just isn't ready yet.
