MARY HAWORTH

Correspondents Take Issue With Self-Pitying Widows

DEAR MARY HAWORTH: Your reply to GC, the widow writing her Master’s thesis on “The Communication of the Pro- blems of the Widowed” was a gem- :

As say,. the problems of the widowed shouldn’t be isolat- ed, categorically, from. the ge- nerality of human trials, as if they were cast into outer dark- ness, somehow set apart from the mainstream of the human race.

What makes GC think that a widdw’s loneliness is unique? She could get a lot-of mind-stre- tching material on that score from persons who are separated end or divorced through no choi- ce of their own.

As for her smug little church organization of widows and wi- dowers who share the same creed, for. whom she edits a newsletter, why don’t they in- clude divorced persons in their rarefied company.

And, inasmuch as such church

groups are simply the equiva- lent of matrimonial bureaus, why not include spinsters also? They, are human too, alone to all intents and purposes, with problems not, unlike those of the widowed. \ GC.might get closer to reality by changing the title of her pro- jected thesis to ‘‘The Communi- cation Problems of the Left- over Femalein a Man’s World” Problem is: We outnumber the males! E.L.

DEAR MARY HAWORTH: Here is a message for GC, the widow who asks help in compil- img a reading- list on the ‘‘pro- blems of the widowed”’ on which subject she is writing her Mas- ter’s thesis. ;

which to build a clubhouse for their exclusive use, where they i cry on each other’s shoul er.

Their leader made a pitch for

community backing one even- ing at a regular meeting of the local Business and Professional Women’s group. When a member of the audie- nce asked if other -lone women, divorcees for example, could join up, the widows’ spokesman replied: "No indeed;..we_have to draw the line somewhere."

Iwas there;,I heard the speech. At least a third-of her captive audience were old maids

or divorced How far do_you think ‘got with her plea for “‘understanding?’’ She

got turned down flat.

My sympathies are with the spinsters and divorcees, as ver- sus GC and other bellyaching widows. If GC has -time to ‘edit a church letter and work for a Master’s degree; “she’s “luckier than most of us. I am a widow toowith a high school education and three children to rear. Sin- ‘cerely, A. W. Now that you bring the idea to mind, I believe I have noticed

probably more valiant about co- ping factually with the prob- lems of loneliness than their newly widowed sisters are apt to be. ° sn

Possibly this is because . the spinsters and divorcees are ‘Ac- customed to doing without the psychological comfort of feel- ing wanted, protected, secure, ia member of the ‘‘in’’- . group with men to look after them, or to create the illusion, at: least, that they (the wives) have re- sources to call upon.

“What you never have, you mever miss,” a proverb says.

The shock to the widow, of finding herself, in the midst of great bereavement, at the same time displaced from her erst- while insider rating in the man’s world, socially’ and domestical- ly, may ifitroduce a deep sense of outrage, indignation and self- tion fo the tests of loneliness. Perhaps this accounts for her feeling, implicitly, that. widow-

harder to bear, than the trials of the spinster or divorcee. And that she is, therefore, a person = as compared to them.
