Wife alarmed husband quietly planned funeral
Dear Abby: My husband and I have been married for 7 years. Since our wedding, he has had increasing health problems.
He recently told me that he planned his funeral 3 months ago, without saying a word to me. I am very concerned that he seems more focused on death than on life. Am I wrong to be upset? He says I am. – Wife in Burlington, N.J.
Dear Wife: I don't blame you for being concerned because husbands and wives should be able to discuss important topics with each other, and this is one of them.
