In Britain today almost four million people are widowed: left to face the emotional and practical problems of life without a partner in a society where talking openly about death has become the great 20th-century taboo.
In a series of four programmes Jenni Mills talks to widows and widowers about some of the problems they have been left to face.
1: Margaret and George Margaret lost her husband six months ago - he died suddenly, leaving her with three growing boys to bring up alone with very little money.
