EASING A
SPOUSE’S
LOSS
Words cannot adequately express the loneliness and sadness that may overwhelm spouses who lose their life partners. It is not surprising, therfore, that older adults are at increased risk of death and disability after the recent loss of a loved one. Equally important is that strong social and emotional support can ameliorate the impact of bereavement. Thus, friends and family are urged to help older adults ease their loss by being open to signs of emotional need. It may also prove helpful to bring up the issue of loss themselves, encourage socialization, and give grieving spouses the time and place to express their grief. As Joseph Fort Newton said, “People are lonely because they build walls instead of bridges.” Losing a spouse is one of life’s difficult passages, especially if the relationship has been a long and loving one. At the Moser Funeral Home, we do well what we know best - how to make your life more bearable and the memories more meaningful during the/loss of your loved one. We’re at 233 Broadview Avenue.
