Blooming lovely: medieval texts that reveal the activities of English gardens

Really Bloomberg? You're going to insult everyone who has lost a spouse like that? I'm getting tired of the comparisons to "worse than being widowed", and am extremely skeptical of the "study" they cite. Making a blanket statement like that is horrible, particularly for a well known media company. You wouldn't tell someone losing a job is "worse than getting cancer" or "worse than losing a child", would you? Then what makes it alright to say "worse than losing a spouse"?
