      Again, people do weird shit in grief, and losing a spouse is a special kind of hell.

        Yep. The longer I have been with my wife, the worse TV shows make me feel when spouses die and one is left all alone.

        I think I would lose myself almost completely for a long time if it happened to me.

        When I was younger I did not understand how people could die of grief after losing a loved one. I do now. I have been with my wife for over 10 years, we have a great bond and share everything. I would survive, but I can only imagine that bond after 30-40 or even 50, 60, 70 years.
