I would probably wait a year or longer. You don't want to give the impression that your moving to fast. You need time to grieve.

A good rule of thumb that I've always been told was one-two months per year of marriage, with a minimum of one year to start with.

The timing is a personal decision that varies by the individual. In general, you should give yourself enough time to complete the grieving process so that you are ready to enter into another relationship.

Years ago the appropriate waiting time to remarry was no less than one year. However today, it is a matter of personal preference.
