Abstract
The way in which some elderly widowers living alone experientially organize time can be viewed as on a continuum structured around the notion of a “day” as a central organizing focus. Related to this is the role of a “daily highlight” in organizing daily activities. The continuing role of bereavement, effects of living alone, and other factors may help structure this experiential continuum.Keywords
