Shit, imavoter - can’t tell you how often I think about this stuff! Like - ALL THE TIME.

I still have my husband. We’ve been married so long that it’s no longer easy to keep track without stopping to count. When I’m asked, I usually say “we were married in 1976. You do the math.” But not a day goes by that I don’t find myself thinking about it and wondering how much longer we’ve got. And who’s gonna go first? And assuming it’s him, what do I do about it - from mourning til, well, til nights (and how many nights), and all the procedural stuff and coping mechanisms and longer-range stuff and so forth.

And we’re not getting any younger.

I hope you keep us all posted. I’d love to hear about this new journey you’re on. Besides, I imagine it’ll be therapeutic for you, and expanding and deepening wisdom for us all. Please keep posting and weighing in.

Besides - otherwise we’re gonna worry.
