A widow is a woman who lost her partner. Separation is what happened to her. Every separation is a big rauma and a possible source of psychopathology. The widow's children have experienced trauma as well, with all knewn cosequences of separation. Admixture of pride partially reduces the intensity of frustration. However, this pride will soon lead to sense of guilt and autoaggressive component becomes dominant.

Due to the widow's anxiety, depression and thinking about their own death and children's psychosomatic disturbances there is the imperative of the ong-term psychotherapeutic work with them which is aimed at the correction of possible psychopathology.
