Concept in Definition ABC

It is known with the term widowhood to the moment that a person can pass in her life when that person with whom she contracted marriage dies or loses life. The widowhood status is considered as one of the saddest since it assumes that one of the two people who decided to form a couple is no longer there, and it is even worse if there is a family already formed. Although widowhood is a state of life that is usually linked to the elderly (among whom it is more common to lose the other to old age), widowhood is not exclusive to any age and one can even access that nickname even though it is very young.

When we talk about widowhood, we are using the term to refer to people who have been officially married or officially married according to the rites and traditions of their community. However, the term can also be used for people who lived together as a couple regardless of whether they were married or not.

Widowhood supposes that the person who remains in this world must move on with her life and this is both at the

emotional as well as economically. Thus, while it is advisable to perform some type of treatment that helps one to overcome such a difficult and harsh situation, there are different countries in different countries legislation that aims to ensure the provision of subsidies or contributions to those who they are left alone. Thus, pensions are usually common in most countries and are amounts of money proportional to salary that the person who died was paid in life and that their objective is to pay the expenses or debts of the person who is left alone. In the case of women, they are allowed in most cases to continue using the married name (in if it is adopted) and a succession is also established that can be distributed between the spouse and the children.
