Come to think of it...when my h turned 40 he was really upset w/the age and talked about getting old. About two weeks after his 40th birthday, he had an eye appointment. At that time, the doctor had advised him that he needed bifocals. When I asked about his appointment, he said everything was okay. I found out about the prescription change for him 2 weeks later when I went in for my appointment and they asked why he hadn't been in to order his new glasses. Then 6 years later all h@ck broke loose with the death of his step father and father all in the same year.
It's interesting to see what everyone is posting here about what may have trigger some of the issues with coping skills.
Sit quietly, the answers will reveal themselves when you least expect them to. The past is gone, the present is a gift and you need to focus on today, allow the future to reveal itself when it is ready.
