Quotes about widowhood
There is no lonelier man in death, except the suicide, than that man who has lived many years with a good wife and then outlived her. If two people love each other there can be no happy end to it. (Hemingway Ernest)
He that outlives a wife whom he has long loved, sees himself disjoined from the only mind that has the same hopes, and fears, and interest; from the only companion with whom he has shared much good and evil; and with whom he could set his mind at liberty, to retrace the past or anticipate the future. The continuity of being is lacerated; the settled course of sentiment and action is stopped; and life stands suspended and motionless. (Hemingway Ernest)
Widow. The word consumes itself. (Hemingway Ernest)
Sorrow for a husband is like a pain in the elbow, sharp and short. (Hemingway Ernest)
Widows are divided into two classes -- the bereaved and relieved. (Hemingway Ernest)
The poor fatherless baby of eight months is now the utterly broken-hearted and crushed widow of forty-two! My life as a happy one is ended! the world is gone for me! If I must live on (and I will do nothing to make me worse than I am), it is henceforth for our poor fatherless children -- for my unhappy country, which has lost all in losing him -- and in only doing what I know and feel he would wish. (Hemingway Ernest)
He first deceased; she for a little tried to live without him, liked it not, and died. (Hemingway Ernest)
