If it comes true, I have to (4)bite the bullet and (3)drift apart from my family and friends. I’ve heard someone say that she wants to die before her spouse. “I can’t stand living without him. It will be difficult for me to go on with the remainder of my life.” When I heard it, I highly agreed and empathized with her.
