“…In other words, grieving takes time. While physical symptoms of grief usually disappear in six to ten weeks, adjustment to the loss may take much longer (Epstein, 1975;Parkes, 1964;Maddison 1968). This time period may be a clue as to when the diabetes teaching should be started.…”

“…The finding in the present study that nutrient intakes are poorer only for men living alone suggests that companionship during mealtimes may not be as important as marital roles, convenience, cooking skills and preparation time in influencing dietary intake in the elderly. The data suggesting that mealtime companionship is positively related to dietary intake in the elderly is, in fact, very gly affected than women (Epstein et a]., 1975;Rowland, 1977;Lynch, 1977;Stroebe & Stroebe, 1983;Kaprio et al, 1987). Changes in health behaviour patterns (nutrition, alcohol use, smoking and physical activity) may be contributing factors in the excess long-term mortality among male widowers.…”

Living arrangement, marital status and dietary patterns were examined for a representative sample of 2195 people aged 65 years and over residing in Adelaide, South Australia. Several indicators of food consumption patterns, dietary variety, and energy and nutrient intake from a self‐completed semiquantitative food‐frequency questionnaire were analysed. Elderly men living with a spouse generally had more favourable dietary patterns than those living alone. Women living alone, on the other hand, had largely similar dietary patterns, and nutrient intakes equal to or greater than those of women living with a spouse.

“…Parkes et Brown (1972) confirment ces données quoi qu'ils trouvent moins de symptômes chez les veufs et veuves de moins de 45 ans. Epstein, Weitz, Roback et McKee (1976) rapportent que l'expérience du deuil peut exacerber certains problèmes comme la thrombose coronarienne et certains types de cancer, ou encore provoquer de nouveaux problèmes comme la colite ulcéreuse, l'arthrite rhumathoïde, l'asthme, l'hyperthyroï die etl'ostéo-arthrite.…”

Le décès du conjoint est une situation de crise susceptible d'être vécue par la majorité de la population. Certaines personnes gardent longtemps les séquelles d'un deuil alors que d'autres s'y adaptent plus facilement. À partir d'une recension des écrits, cet article décrit tout d'abord les principales étapes de la réaction au deuil, puis il identifie les problèmes financiers, de santé physique et mentale et les problèmes interpersonnels vécus par les veufs et les veuves. L'âge, le revenu, l'histoire antérieure de deuil, l'existence d'un confident, la fréquentation d'ami(e)s et d'autres veufs et veuves, la satisfaction par rapport à l'aide reçue, la participation à diverses associations sont les principaux facteurs pouvant favoriser l'adaptation au veuvage. Le comportement dépressif à un mois de veuvage et la réaction retardée de deuil indiquent une possibilité de réaction négative au deuil.The death of a spouse is a crisis situation which the majority of the population will experience. Some are affected over a long period by the effects of mourning, while others adapt more easily. Starting with a review of writing on the subject, this article describes first the principal stages of the mourning reaction, then it identifies the associated financial, health, and interpersonal problems experienced by widows and widowers. Age, income, previous mourning, the existence of a confidant, frequenting friends and other widows or widowers, satisfaction in relation to help received, participation in diverse associations, are the principal factors favouring adaptation to widowhood. Depressive behaviour, one month after onset of widowhood, and the delayed reaction to mourning indicate a possible negative reaction
