Yes; my paternal grandmother reacted very similarly when my grandfather died, she withdrew from her friends, stopped doing so many things she'd enjoyed doing together with my grandfather - they'd been in a bowling club together, they'd travelled a lot, they had had favourite restaurants etc - , and then felt her friends were deserting her when after a while, they didn't try anymore to coax her back. But the social conditions around her were widely different.
