My husband had been dead for sixteen days when a hospice nurse called and asked me a question that changed the shape of our forty-one-year marriage. “Ruth, do you know someone named Maryanne?” I was standing in the kitchen with Thomas’s coffee mug still sitting beside the sink because I hadn’t been able to move it….

By the time I retired at sixty-five, I’d learned something. People rarely fight only about property. Usually, they’re fighting about love, loyalty, and control.
