Reply to comment by Heterophylla in Research found after six years spent tracking health outcomes among nearly 925,000 Danish seniors, investigators determined that when a man between the ages of 65 and 69 loses his wife he is 70% more likely to die in the year that follows, when compared with his non-widowed peers by Wagamaga
I'll give you a cheat sheet in case your wife dies and leaves 65-69 year old you alone:
Know how to cook
Know how to keep a house clean and orderly
Know how to do laundry
Know how/when to make doctor's appointments
And take your goddamn medicine!
Honestly, I'm pretty sure it's the whole "men refuse to see a doctor unless their wives force them to" thing that does them in. Why are y'all like this?

Not sure what the Danes’ excuse is, but the answer should be pretty obvious in the US. If it’s not worth the risk of losing your house to debt, it’ll probably get better on its own.

Or, and just hear me out here, find another wife. It shouldn't even be difficult as the number of men between 65-69 is far less than the number of women of the same age group.

Funny enough, this happens a lot more than you think. Apparently, the elders at the retirement villages act like they're on Gray's Anatomy or something. I've heard stories
