I always find the death of a wife before the husband, especially after a long dedicated life together, particularly bittersweet.

Men, simply cannot survive for very long after the love of their life has past.

It was especially moving to hear William Buckley declare on Charlie Rose not long after the death of his wife, that he was tired of life and was ready to enter the next stage.

My prayers to Paul Harvey, this can not be easy for him.

Paul Sr. is 90, and like anyone at that age, not in good health. He is a little slower to turn a phrase, a little stooped over, and still a giant!

Most widowers that I know are looking for another wife very soon after their wife's passing. Not that there is anything wrong with wanting someone to fill up the loneliness.

Similar to Buckley; my thoughts exactly.
