Is the death of a husband end of intimacy for a woman?

Death hits all of us hard. Men, especially those who lose their wives, will shed a tear or two and put on a brave face even as they bereave. They rarely admit they are in pain, unless they are confiding in relatives or drinking buddies. They are likely to put up a wall around them and pretend that everything is okay.  On the other hand, women will wail, roll on the ground and tear up uncontrollably.
