Yes, but I wouldn't give up on this one yet. Saying weeks or months could just be a way of saying--don't expect anything anytime soon. Weeks could mean just a couple weeks. (Taking care of a dying relative and then the funeral etc., all the paperwork and clearing out the house. All that can easily take weeks. It's been 3 months now since my mother died and there's a whole still to settle--not on a full-time basis, however.) Months does seem unlikely, but maybe she's giving him wiggle room.
