I'll Start. Here's a Question for Ya'll

[Tink]

A man we knew died last week. He was 82 and had suffered with alzheimers for the past 4 - 5 years. His passing was no great shock other than he left behind a wife who isn't even 60 yet. She could easily live another 25 years, but is so distraught over his passing that she says she wants to die too.

So she had many good years with a man she still loves desperately... but now she faces many more without him because of the age difference. Sadly, when you marry a man much older than yourself you pretty much have to expect that might happen.

I think this is the hardest part about marrying someone considerably older than yourself... especially since women already have a longer life expectancy than men do.
