I see exactly the opposite from our widowed neighbor women-friends. When their husbands finally died after the wife practically lived in the hospital and hospice, watching them die slowly of cancer or whatever, they finally got a chance to LIVE and spend some of the money they'd worked to save.
I'm thinking of four women who actually got younger and more fit, slim and trim by being active in golf, wonderful
volunteer jobs that are interesting and filled with enthusiastic people, and by eventually meeting a new mate whom they wisely do not marry
and do not live with--too complicated and tied down.
They are finally liberated in a place where weather permits them to be outside every single day/evening, where it is
safe to walk around and be out and about on the golf cart.
That cannot be said about most cities of this size across the nation.
