Sometimes we just want to know the facts - how many of us there are, what we
look like, how we fare. Here are some statistics about people like you.
Key Statistics
 | You are not alone. There are over 13 million widowed people in the United
States; over 11 million are women. Over 900,000 people become widowed each
year; 70% are women. There are approximately 700,000 under the age of
18 who live with only a widowed parent. For more information check out the

| Life expectancy. Knowing how long you can expect to survive your
spouse can be
helpful in planning your new life. There are plenty of calculators on the web
such as

- individual experience will vary. |
