Dear Queenie,
I’m in my 20s and my husband is twice as old as I am. We are both in good health and have our affairs in order, but sometimes I get thinking about the fact that I will probably be a fairly young widow and have to live a long time without him.
Queenie, is this a normal thing? Should I talk to my husband about it or do I need professional counselling?—Happy young wife
Dear Wife,
Yes, this is normal for anyone who has a strong bond with their partner. Yes, you can talk to your husband about it, and you may be surprised to find he feels the same way about you.
And if your concern about the possibility of losing him is causing you too much anxiety, yes, professional counselling would probably help.
