The idea
In a prospective study of widowed people, Bonanno and colleagues found resilience, little lasting disruption, the most frequent pattern, and common grief relatively infrequent.
In practice
A widower who is sad but keeps functioning, working and enjoying time with friends within weeks.
Where people slip
The misconception is that most bereaved people are devastated for years; resilience is more common than is often believed.
