General   (General discussion, talk about anything.)

Been an observer and reader for a while but had to comment on this.
Scottish Widows part of Lloyds Banking group have issued a directive to staff not use status of Widow or Widower but to refer instead to someone as separated.
After fifty plus years of marriage I am a widower and whilst my wife is no longer with me in no way are we separated she will stay with me in cherished memories. I for one resent this modernistic so called protocol.
