Responses to the death of a spouse vary; although some are at increased risk of poorer physical and mental health outcomes, others have more resilient responses.

Intergenerational impacts of discrimination against Nepali widows of reproductive age
Discrimination that affects young widows in Nepal may carry over to impact their children’s mental health and well-being.
