At 30 or 40, a separation can open doors: new relationships, projects, changes. But after 60, the context is different.

Social circles tend to be smaller
Children already have their own lives
Opportunities to meet new people decrease

This makes loneliness not temporary, but constant.

A sense of failure
Guilt over past decisions
Anxiety about the future
Fear of illness or becoming dependent
