Is this just jargon that describes widows/widowers adapting to loneliness and despair?

Urban Dictionary:

New Normal
1) An overused term or slogan by politicians and business people to describe the disruptive, distrustful, or dangerous world in which we live in.
2) The current state of being after some dramatic change has transpired. What replaces the expected, usual, typical state after an event occurs. The new normal encourages one to deal with current situations rather than lamenting what could have been.

And from the "Widows/Widowers Dictionary"?

I can't even this time is normal, because none of this is normal.
So all you got is abnormal.

As much as can't say the Alternative Facts is a new type of fact to make them legit.
