How sad.. My prayers to President Monson.Comment

It would be nice to have her resume when arriving at the pearly gates. I am sure this is going to be tough for President Monson, even with his faith in the hereafter.Comment

85 is a full life, but I would struggle to see it that way if my wife died before I did. I hope the next few days aren't too much for him."Wuap's "problem" is that he is smart & principled & committed to a moral course of action. His actions are supposed to reflect his ethical code.
The rest of us rarely bother to think about our actions." --SolonComment

Very sad. I too couldn't imagine losing my wife, regardless of age or level of faith."Either evolution or intelligent design can account for the athlete, but neither can account for the sports fan." - Robert Brault

I remember when sister Hinckly died thinking that it was the first time where I saw President Hinckly as vulnerable. In those moments, people just seem to lose themselves. Not something I look forward to if I am fortunate enough to live a long life."They're good. They've always been good" - David Shaw.
Well, because he thought it was good sport. Because some men aren't looking for anything logical, like money. They can't be bought, bullied, reasoned, or negotiated with. Some men just want to watch the world burn.Comment

Sad to hear about this. It will be interesting to see what happens with Pres. Monson in the near future...so many elderly people don't hang on real long after they lose a spouse, and it seems like rumors about a downturn in his health have become more frequent over the past several months.Comment

Very sad. I've always hoped MJ and I would go on the same day. I'll admit I'm actually looking forward to his talk next conference as I can only imagine it will be an upbeat talk like it usually is."Discipleship is not a spectator sport. We cannot expect to experience the blessing of faith by standing inactive on the sidelines any more than we can experience the benefits of health by sitting on a sofa watching sporting events on television and giving advice to the athletes. And yet for some, “spectator discipleship” is a preferred if not primary way of worshipping." -Pres. UchtdorfComment

Seems like the apostles have a higher rate of widowerhood than widowhood. SWK was last prophet to predecease wife. Some left widows who were 2nd wives. Ruth died months after Jim and Ruby months after Dave did. Colleen Maxwell is still alive. Joseph outlived his wife the last Joseph that was an apostle. Ones who died before there wives and wives were widows for some time Norma Ashton, Howards 2nd wife Inis, lived some time after Howard died. Amelia McConkie and Alicia Evans were apostle widows for some time.
David o Mckay died a few months before his wife did. JFS buried three wives. Heber J. Grant left one of his polygamous wives behind. Before Manifesto married three wives. Rest were polygamous after Joseph. Four of our apostles buried wives that are living today. I didn't think Frances had best health recently and Ann traveled with Tom quite frequently. Reunion on other side but hard to lose someone you lived with for that long.Comment

Why don't you run some numbers and simulations and keep me posted on when you think it'll happen.Originally posted by Indy Coug View Post
Since you already spend hours of your employers hours per week posting on multiple websites I'm sure a couple more minutes spent on my life expectancy wouldn't hurt.Comment
