No man dies except for his wife, and no woman dies except for her husband

No man dies except for his wife, and no woman dies except for her husband

The primary one who suffers from a person's death is their spouse, who feels the loss most deeply.

("No man dies except for his wife—as it is said: ‘And Elimelech, Naomi’s husband, died’; and no woman dies except for her husband—as it is said: ‘And as I came from Paddan, Rachel died upon me’"—Sanhedrin 22b. Also: "No woman dies except for her husband. He did not heed the advice of counselors and did not remarry"—Agnon, A City and Its Fullness, 185.)
