Scenario

When a dying spouse asks you to promise things about your future

My wife is dying and she wants me to promise I'll remarry after she's gone but I can't imagine loving anyone else and I don't want to lie to her.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

The dying sometimes seek to control their survivors' futures in ways that feel both loving and impossible to honor.
