Hospice support groups can help older widows rebuild their lives after losing their husbands. To establish new-normal patterns for their lives, grieving widows need to address these questions: (a) What parts do you want your family and friends to play in your new-normal life?; (b) How do you want to spend your time, now that spending time with your husband is no longer possible?; and (c) How can your inner resources help you develop a frame of mind where you find peace and joy?
