For female White widows, suicide rate only increased by factor ~4 when going from being married to widowed, and it is not significantly higher than the national average. | For female White widows, suicide rate only increased by factor ~4 when going from being married to widowed, and it is not significantly higher than the national average. | ||
The increase after divorce is roughly the same for both sexes, which is surprising given that women are more often to initiate divorce and initiative tends to be associated with lower post relationship grief. It is in line, though, with men and women self-reporting about the same intensity of post-relationship grief (Morris & Reiber, 2011). | |||
