What Do You Miss When Your Spouse Is Dead.

Been to a home where friend of mine expired . When I attempted with comforting words, friend’s wife responded saying, “I have lost the World” which has caused tear jerked from my eyes.
In present day too, despite higher education and influence of western culture, in many parts of India one finds if the old spouse expires, the widow or widower too expires in a space of few months. Losing partner of life causes immense pressure on heart and their soul which eventually cry & leave the body.
Sathi practice of past brings to mind the courage, guts and profound love of affected Lady entering into the burning pyre. Rajputs comes to mind. A queen of Rajasthan along with hubby fought with British soldiers and before they could capture her, she enters the flames that was burning body of her soul mate! Wonder What kind of thoughts run in the mind of the lady in such a situation. A macabre practice-an eerie silence and horrible world.

 

I agree here which is the case with young couple.
Your mention of "Sowbhagyavathi bhawa" reminds me of my mom who expired on Boxer's Day and the following 10th March my dad followed her.

3M views · 19K reactions | I walked into a matchmaking event in Pune and it made me cry. People in their 60s, 70s, even 80s, smiling like teenagers because they were finally meeting someone again. Some had lost spouses. Some had gone through painful divorces. All of them just wanted companionship, laughter, and a hand to hold. Society tells us love has an expiry date. It does not. Love does not retire. Love does not get old. Even old people need love and companionship! Watching them find hope again was one of the most beautiful things I have seen. If you ever wonder what happens to people who are single later in life, this is it. These people chose courage. They choose connection. They choose to try again. And it is magic. You could be - Widowed. Divorced. Alone. And still full of love. This gave me hope ;) #LoveAfter60 #SecondChanceAtLove #SingleAt60 #NeverTooLateForLove | Shenaz Treasury

AI much? Or should I say - the internet has ears and eyes always open!!!

 

“Love does not retire love does not get old”
The above phrase taken out from fb at #6 of this thread.

It is true love’s labour’s not lost. Despite regular arguments and verbal pyrotechnics even at ripe age, couples seen going hand in hand with fingers entwined in public places.
This reminds me a story with surprise judgement. It is in link below:
