One really sad thing I've read about older people is what happens when their spouse dies. According to studies, the way men and women handle this is very, very different. For women, when their husband dies, it's almost no big deal for most of them. They just continue on with their social group, and they can live for decades. For men, when their wife dies, they usually die very quickly after (and not usually by outright suicide either).
