Isolation, Loneliness, Widowhood, Mental Health

Loneliness significantly affects those who have suffered the death of a husband. A certain stigma of loneliness in widowed spouses can cause people to withdraw from them, almost as if widowhood was contagious. These unfair biases against the widowed help exacerbate their feelings of loneliness. The lives of women change immediately after the death of their husbands. After the death of their husbands, they experience extraordinary isolation which excludes them from important socioeconomic decisions. The loss of the spouse is the challenging and life changing event, this is even worse in elderly people, whether the spouse dies expectedly or unexpectedly, loneliness among the elderly widows whose social network has already been reduced, affects the elderly widow’s quality of life and they become more vulnerable to loneliness. Although social support buffers the effects of loneliness such as mental problems, depression, insomnia and hallucinations of the dead, widows have lower levels of social support than married individuals. Human beings are social species which require safe and secure social surroundings to survive. Satisfying social relationships are essential for mental and physical well beings. Impaired social relationship can lead to loneliness. Since the time of dawn, loneliness is perceived as a global human phenomenon. Loneliness can lead to various psychiatric disorders like depression, alcohol abuse, child abuse, sleep problems, personality disorders and Alzheimer’s disease. Therefore, it is important to intervene at the right time to prevent loneliness, so that mental health of patients is maintained.
