- Abstract
This qualitative research explores the representations of formal social support in widows. The objective is to identify widows' motivations to help social support providers respond to their needs. The results of 24 in-depth interviews conducted with widows aged at least 60 years old show that informants need social support but that, in their mind, formal social support cannot fulfil their needs. Different obstacles to using formal social support are identified. Recommendations focus on how to answer the needs of widows with an adequate social support offer, and how to overcome the obstacles to social support services consumption.
