BBC Radio 4 Extra - Merry Widows

Women whose much-loved husbands have died describe finding unexpected happiness afterwards

Women, whose much-loved husbands have died, describe finding unexpected happiness late in life. From August 2009.

Women whose much-loved husbands have died describe finding unexpected happiness late in life, and the challenge of creating a new identity. Restarting a life when one suddenly finds oneself alone, having been married for decades, and for all of one's adult life, is never easy. There are contributions from women who had never lived on their own: people who married early, and happily, and stayed married. But then comes the blow of their husbands' death; they explain what happened next - and it surprised everyone
