Everyone has to die. I'm not particularly scared about it. What really frightens me is that if I go before my wife, I will leave her alone, and vice versa. The ideal would be to die together.
Losing a wife can be very hard. In my case, it was almost impossible.
The others were only my wives. But you, my dear, will be my widow.
So take care of your life and take notice and be observant, for the number of widows is always far greater than the number of widowers.
When you lose a spouse, you're a widow or widower; when you lose your parents, you're an orphan. When you lose a child, there's no word in the English language for that position, that place that you're left.
It's awkward to tell others that your spouse has died. Everyone becomes so sad and sorry, and you just hate like heck to have to break the news to someone who hasn't heard the news.
