Yep. The longer I have been with my wife, the worse TV shows make me feel when spouses die and one is left all alone.
I think I would lose myself almost completely for a long time if it happened to me.
When I was younger I did not understand how people could die of grief after losing a loved one. I do now. I have been with my wife for over 10 years, we have a great bond and share everything. I would survive, but I can only imagine that bond after 30-40 or even 50, 60, 70 years.
It is very dystopian.
But try to remember that people in grief do a lot of weird stuff. Try not to be too hard on this guy.
He is in a situation where he is both looking for work and grieving. Pretty bad situation.
He could have given it a little more time, instead of the 12ish suggested by the wording.
Again, people do weird shit in grief, and losing a spouse is a special kind of hell.

Made me think of Bruce Dawson, who lost his wife and kinda retired:

Or he’s an egocentric that can only think of himself when his wife died
