Meh this topic makes me realise how much I worry about my wife. Shes always got something wrong with her. Shes got heart conditions, diverticula disease and a variety of other bits and bobs. She had back surgery not too long ago to thats affected her mobility. She gets constant migraines which put her in bed for days at a time.

Ive kinda resigned myself shes going to go before me and I dread having to face it when that day comes or more specifically the months and years leading up to that point.

Even if its 20 / 30 years from now. Shes just not a healthy person. Were both 40 and ever since I first met her shes deteriorated a lot in the last ten years health wise. Just needed to vent. Its one of the reasons I was so heart broken by your story over the last few years because I can see myself having to face seeing my wife go downhill as well albeit probably on a longer scale.

That sounds rough. And not to discount this AT ALL, but there is an opposite side to this too. I am 46 and my wife is 31. I worry about how I will likely seriously decline waaaaay before she does, and I hate that I will do that to her.
