She didn't divorce him. So she isn't the "former wife of John Lennon;" she's the widow. Or maybe even just the "wife of John Lennon." Good grief; what happened to all the copy editors?

I have a few thoughts on this.

1. A diagnosis of something does not mean it is an illness, per se. Let's say you break your arm. That's not an illness, but it is a medical problem. I see grief...

It not being a private activity doesn't mean it's a social activity. Waiting for a bus isn't, for example.

Speaking of which, I need to get myself to to store soon for my plants.
