Abstract
Loss of a spouse or partner can cause heartbreak, both in symbolic terms and expressed as physical symptoms. Recognition of a spouse or partner’s loss and provision of appropriate services can help adaptation and prevent major health problems. Although grief reactions are expected, symptoms suggestive of cardiac disease should be investigated immediately.
