Dan's second proposal of marriage to you brought tears to my eyes. A last minute renewal of vows. Such a sweet, sweet, memory for you. It brought to mind my mother's last few lucid days and how I treasure them in my memory. Thank you, Janice.

Hi, That's the way I saw it - in the midst of his confusion - he was still making that choice. A real gift for me.

Change is hard at every stage of life, but most especially when we've grown older. I admire your determination to reinvent yourself despite the difficulties. You're an inspiration for us all.

Hi and thank you so much. I had no idea how impactful or in how many ways his death would touch me.

This was so helpful, Janice! I still have my husband of 55 years, but as we age I've been feeling some anxiety. Thanks for giving me a heads up on what to expect if my husband dies first. {{Hugs}}

Hi, I wasn't expecting him to die first either - and was totally unprepared. We had done practical things fortunately, like wills, powers of attorney, etc. - but my emotions have been the challenge.
