It has worked because we bring different skills and qualities to the relationship and we respect and appreciate them. He is 9 years older than me so I know that I might be single at some point. I imagine and plan in my head what my life might look like and we talk openly about it. Your posts are very enlightening. Thank you.
Hi Robyn, You are wise to be thinking along those lines, I wish we had done more of it. Dan had dementia, so I knew what was coming, but COVID brought the end much sooner. When he was in the memory care facility - hearing his voice, seeing him on FaceTime was enough to keep me going. I was not prepared for the impact of his death on my self-confidence. It was all on me for the first time in my life.
I have watched my sister on her own for 20 years become a strong woman with skills that only living alone brings. She is totally dedicated to serving her family, volunteers at the aged care facility and fits some supply teaching at her old school. My role model for aging well on your own if that happens to me.

I love that it is called a memory care facility.
