| description | This paper compares the grief responses of widows and widowers of different age groups over the 1st year of bereavement. The results strongly suggest that older widows and widowers perceive themselves as adjusting better to their loss and suffering from less depression and fewer anxiety symptoms than their younger counterparts. Furthermore, the oldest widows/widowers demonstrate the most consistent improvement in their levels of distress over time. Thus, when it comes to coping, older persons are not at the disadvantage that certain stereotypes and “clinical wisdoms” have previously suggested. Seniors are every bit as adaptive and able to cope with the severest forms of stress as anyone else, and they are, if anything, less prone to depression than are younger individuals. |
