Yep. The longer I have been with my wife, the worse TV shows make me feel when spouses die and one is left all alone.
I think I would lose myself almost completely for a long time if it happened to me.
When I was younger I did not understand how people could die of grief after losing a loved one. I do now. I have been with my wife for over 10 years, we have a great bond and share everything. I would survive, but I can only imagine that bond after 30-40 or even 50, 60, 70 years.
It is very dystopian.
But try to remember that people in grief do a lot of weird stuff. Try not to be too hard on this guy.
He is in a situation where he is both looking for work and grieving. Pretty bad situation.
He could have given it a little more time, instead of the 12ish suggested by the wording.
Again, people do weird shit in grief, and losing a spouse is a special kind of hell.

Or he’s an egocentric that can only think of himself when his wife died
Made me think of Bruce Dawson, who lost his wife and kinda retired:
