MEN AND LOSS
There is evidence to show that elderly men who lose a family member other than their wives report a considerable increase in emotional distress and depression within six months of the relative’s death. The bereavement hits hardest among widowers who do not belong to a church or temple. Elderly women who suffer comparable losses seem to emerge in better emotional shape than the men. Other studies of recently widowed adults also show that men suffer more emotional problems after the loss of a spouse than do women. While the reason for this gender gap in bereavement remain unclear, it seems that women have more social ties that help ease distress when a relative dies. Thus, men might benefit from greater support.

"To retreat into oneself is a common response in the face of misfortune. But the more a man is preoccupied with himself, the more he diminishes himself."
