It is therefore no surprise that losing a spouse in death is ranked by psychologists as the single most stressful life event, followed only by divorce and separation. Whether a spouse dies suddenly and unexpectedly, or whether death comes over time and with some warning, the surviving spouse must come to terms with the loss and eventually find a way to pick up the pieces and move on.
