  • Title: Bereavement in the elderly.
    Author: Richards JG, McCallum J.
    Journal: N Z Med J; 1979 Mar 28; 89(632):201-4. PubMed ID: 286904.
    Abstract:
    One hundred bereaved spouses aged 65 and over were interviewed six months after the death for symptoms of depression. Twenty-nine were still depressed. Depression was not commoner with advancing age but was more frequent in men. Unexpected death was associated with more depression than if it was expected. Many derived benefit from supporting services.
