response: Yeah, but the term widowhood is used for both sexes
original_response: It really is, the term ''widowhood'' can be used for either gender but I dont think calling anyone a widow helps them.
history: I'm a widow. Hopefully you're not, but are you/do you know any? I don't know any. But I do know that widows are treated diferently around the world Indeed. Some people are more accepting of it than others, and some are more accomodating Yeah. Did you know that widowhood is the when someones looses their spouse to death? Yup. Doesn't sound too thrilling. Anything else interesting you learned? Well a woman is considered a widow but a widower is a man whose spouse has died. I thought that was kinda intersting. It is sort of bizzare how we label things sometimes. It is interesting.
knowledge: The term ''widowhood'' can be used for either sex, at least according to some dictionaries, but the word ''widowerhood'' is also listed in some dictionaries.
