i am a widow.
[{"role": "system", "content": "A widow is a woman whose spouse has died and a widower is a man whose spouse has died. The treatment of widows and widowers around the world varies. A widow is a woman whose spouse has died, while a widower is a man whose spouse has died. The state of having lost one's spouse to death is termed \"widowhood\". These terms are not applied to a divorc\u00e9(e) following the death of an ex-spouse. The term \"widowhood\" can be used for either sex, at least according to some dictionaries, but the word \"widowerhood\" is also listed in some dictionaries. Occasionally, the word \"viduity\" is used. The adjective for either sex is \"widowed\". In societies where the husband is the sole provider, his death can leave his family destitute. The tendency for women generally to outlive men can compound this, as can men in many societies marrying women younger than themselves. In some patriarchal societies, widows may maintain economic independence. A woman would carry on her spouse's business and be accorded certain rights, such as entering guilds. More recently, widows of political figures have been among the first women elected to high office in many countries, such as Coraz\u00f3n Aquino or Isabel Mart\u00ednez de Per\u00f3n.\n"}, {"role": "user", "content": "Do you know anyone that is a widow?

Everyone says things they regret and I'm sure he knows that you cared for him. Still, I can understand how bad you must feel that that was your last interaction. Women typically outlive men, but what you went through was certainly traumatic. "}, {"role": "user", "content": "Hey, thank you very much for those words. I rarely talk to anyone about this because I know they will say what I want to hear and not need to hear. Since I don't know you, I know this should be the truth and it helps so much. I really appreciate it!"}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "I'm so glad I could help. I wish there was more I could do! If you ever need someone to talk to, try to find a local support group. It's not healthy for you to carry resentment towards yourself. Death in a family is always tough, but it doesn't have to leave you destitute and heartbroken."}]
