[quote=Anonymous]I agree with PP that the idea of one life being over is the way to think of it. My grandmother lost her husband at 50 to unexpected death and one of her two children a decade later to another unexpected death. She never dated or tried to replace the life that was lost. She did go back to work for 10 years (wanted a pension), made new friends from work, got a roommate, became an active grandma, kept up hobbies, etc. I am sure it was not the middle aged and retirement life she expected for herself. And I know she never got over in particular the loss of a child. But she made a different life for herself that was quite nice, including in some unexpected ways. [/quote]
