On January 9, 2011, I received a phone call from one of my dear friends who informed me that our friend's husband passed away from a heart attack. I was stunned and shocked - he is the same age as my husband. He wanted his wife to retire and enjoy travel and each other; now that will not be an option. What a horrible realization that has slapped all of us in the face.
Earlier that day, I had just read an article regarding "what matters most". In the article, he referred to his Aunt who was going to semi-retire and her husband passed away 2 or 3 months before her semi-retirement started.
Why is it so difficult to see these signs but still think you have to be at the office or it won't survive without you?
