Questions & Answers on
recovering from grief *
Questions asked during bereavement
counseling are answered by the editor of
Afterioss, the grief-recovery letter.
Q. Recently widowed, I'm notk- !
1 ing some of my women friends
: act "fanny" when I'm around
: them and their husbands. How
could I be a threat? This really
hurts my feelings.
A. There are women who feel add
ing a single person to their couples
crowd presents a threat. Some
times it is because they are inse
cure in their own marriages, but
often it's because they see you a^a
widow now and worry about how
they will survive a loss like yours.
As much as they care for you, you
represent something they'd rather
not think about
