It is just that people don’t understand that there is no relationship between the age, the diseases and the life-long love between the two people! She could live with her husband with his old age and his illness, but not without his physical presence and companionship! After all, that is what the old age is meant for… the love and sharing of a lifetime of experiences together!
Healthy or otherwise, he was there somewhere in her home and his presence was there with her! They would drink coffee together, they would go for a slow walk in the evenings, they would watch the TV together and she would cover his shrinking body with a comfortable bed-sheet while he was sleeping…
Would it be possible for her to throw away her feelings of a half a century of love and affection towards her husband just like that? Could she also think that he was old, was sick and was above 70 years and hence it does not matter if he dies…can she ever forget the past and move on?
