>a young pregnant woman losing her husband, and say, something like a middle aged person losing an elderly parent

This isn’t really your point, but this person lost their husband at 40. By some definitions, that is middle aged. In the general view of things, not young. That doesn’t really change much, but I was thinking of a mid-twenties before I realized who it was.

Don't take this the wrong way, but what point are you trying to make? What was your goal here?
