We have often remarked that the age at which a senior begins to decline physically and/or cognitively is different for everyone. And we’ve acknowledged that even the mere thought of deterioration is nothing anyone enjoys thinking about. But, perhaps the most jolting situation occurs when one spouse/partner of a vibrant couple becomes suddenly incapacitated or loses the ability to live as actively as they had in the past. In many [...]
