Husband to live forever, won’t discuss grave issues
DEAR ABBY: I have been married
to a wonderful man for more than 50
years. My problem is that he will not
face up to the fact that he is not going
to live forever.
He has made no provisions for a
cemetery lot. He won’t even discuss
it. I know nothing about his business,
or his wishes in the event of his sudden
demise. We are both in fairly good
health, but now that we are approach
ing our late 70s we need to discuss
these matters, but he refuses. To
make matters even more ridiculous,
he is a lawyer. Abby, what is wrong
with my husband? And what can I do
about it? BEWILDERED IN
BIRMINGHAM
DEAR BEWILDERED: Nothing is
wrong with your husband; like most
of us, he doesn’t want to face his own
Horoscope
What kind of day will tomorrow be?
To find out what the stars say, read
the forecast given for your birth sign.
FOR MONDAY, OCTOBER 5, 1987
ARIES (Mar. 21 to Apr. 19) You have
a delightful chance meeting. You may
be complicating a problem more than
you should. Watch irritability tonight.
TAURUS (Apr. 20 to May 20) Cut back
on social engagements. Try not to be
in too many places at once. There
may be a flirtation on the job. Tonight
you may be cranky.
GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) For
some, it’s love at first sight. You may
be uncertain about a career move.
Don’t be drawn into an argument
about this with a close tie.
CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Deal
with a work problem at home. Compli
cations may arise in connection with a
trip. Watch quarrels tonight.
LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) An un
planned outing is fun. Business nego
tiations are complex and there could
be disagreements with a close tie.
VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) An im
promptu shopping trip leads to an un
usual purchase. Minor problems
could set the stage for a later blowout.
Don’t force issues.
LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) Your cre
ative talents are evident, but there
are job-related stresses that could
leave you drained. Overtiredness
could make you edgy.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) An en
tertainment may not be worth the

mortality. And this is what you should
do about it: When you both have plen
ty of time, put your hand in his and
say: “Darling, we have been blessed
with many years together, but noth
ing is forever, and one day, one of us
must leave the other. Should you go
first, do you realize how helpless, con
fused and utterly bewildered I will
be? I know nothing about your wishes.

price. You’re feeling emotional. This
is not the best day for dating or getting
along with others socially.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21)
New friendships are likely now. You
may have mixed thoughts about a do
mestic matter and don’t appreciate
anyone putting the pressure on you to
make up your mind.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) A
hidden benefit comes through career.
Overall there may be difficulty in get
ting your ideas across to others now.
Don’t be provoked into quarreling.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) Unex
pected expenditures drain your ac
counts. Avoid foolish spending and try
not to argue with close ties about mon
ey concerns.
PISCES (Feb. 19 to Mar. 20) Don’t let
impatience lead to unwise business
decisions. Take delays in stride and
not as a personal affront. There’s a
need to cooperate with loved ones
now.
IF BORN TODAY you dislike routine
work and are good at jobs involving
personal contacts. You have a way
with people and would make a good
agent or liaison. You are often suc
cessful in the fields of acting and bro
kerage. You’re at your best with the
development of a social conscious
ness. You work well with groups and
may achieve a position of leadership
in that capacity. Sometimes you are
drawn to a professional career, such
as law, diplomacy or medicine. Birth

ua Logan, director; and Steve Miller,

And do you want me to be buried be
side you when my time comes? Per
haps you prefer cremation. Many do
these days. We need to talk to our cler
gy person (if you have one) and/or a
mortician who will explain all the
options.
“Have you made a will? Probably
not, because you’ve never asked me to
make one, and that is something we
both should do.
“If you love me, you will not leave
me with a mess of unfinished
business.
“As a lawyer, you surely are aware
of how important it is to have all these
things settled now while we are both
of sound mind and body.
“I may go first. And if I do, I should
have a will. So let’s discuss what shall
be done with our property, our person

al possessions or whatever we have to
leave behind. Even if we have little,
there may be debts and obligations
that will have to be honored.
“So, darling, before my time or
yours is up, let’s make our plans. I
love you and hope these plans will not
be needed for a long time, but just as
sure as we were put on this earth, we
are going to depart from it.
“Now, let’s talk about it, then put it
all in writing with a trusted lawyer to
guide us. Even the finest doctors need
doctors. And lawyers engage other
lawyers, too, you know.”

many retirees (especially colonels)

DEAR JANE DOE: The fact that
Mr. Jones is a retired colonel may be
unimportant to you, but it’s not unim
portant to him. Rank is not easy to
come by, and if he’s earned a chicken
on his shoulder, let him crow and
take the chip off yours.
