Encountering the social determinants of health on a Covid-19 ICU: Frontline providers’ perspectives on inequality in a time of pandemic

Widowerhood”: Masculinities and Spousal Loss in the Late-1960s
This study examined the distinctly gendered experiences of young widowers. Using qualitative longitudinal data from the 1960's Harvard Bereavement Study, we evaluated the interview transcripts of 19 widowers (median age = 38) who had been interviewed 3 weeks, 8 weeks, 13 months, and 2-4 years after the wife's death. Our findings indicate that the off-time spousal loss ruptured the ontological security that marriage provided and created two types …
