An additional point: We are all unique individuals. We are close with one woman who is so content to be alone, whereas we have another close friend whose spouse died recently and is having a difficult time, especially with the pandemic limiting activites. On the other hand, we have a much older friend who is a recent widow who is holding her own, even though she speaks of missing him tremendously. I knew them well, and they were the kind of marriage one longs for! We are all so different....
