It is natural to grieve the loss of a loved one, and your new partner will have to understand that you are still dealing with that pain and adjusting to life without your spouse. However, it is still likely that your children may have a hard time adjusting to the idea of you dating someone else. Open dialogue and explaining the new relationship to your kids in a gentle way is key, so that they can understand that you need to take steps to process your grief, but it does not mean they have to forget about their father. Having open and honest conversations could also help reduce their fears and worries. Ultimately, how your children take it is up to them, but your partners understanding and patience should help the process be as smooth as possible.
