After some friends(and blog friends/readers)experienced having their spouses die I have spent some time thinking about what my life will/would be like if Hubs were to predecease me. I know I have more health conditions than him but you never know who will go first(for want of a better expression).
I do know I could muddle along with keeping up the house and could ask my son in-law to fix anything I am incapable of doing myself(which is a lot). But this house sits on 5+ acres and I'd have to resort to paying someone to keep it up(grass cutting, tree trimming, weeding, etc.)Not that I am adverse to paying for yard work but do I really want to worry about all this land needing upkeep.
I would only have my 2 dogs to keep me company if Hubs passes and once the dogs die I can't see myself living here all by myself and would need one of my kids to take me in most probably, if they would have me.
All this sort of thinking was so far off my radar until Kim's hubby died on Christmas. Now living after Hubs death is about all I can think about. Gosh, I am old and feel like I am running out of time. ;-) And all this is inevitable unless Hubs outlives me(which is highly possible).
I don't mean to sound so morbid but this is where my mind goes to lately.
I saw this Youtube piece recently too that has me thinking...
