Following In Love

Where Did It Begin?

In 2009, I was the CEO of an advertising and marketing firm in Dallas, Texas. It was before the days of computers, so I’d have to jump in the car to deliver artwork to our clients. I’d always dial in a radio station that fit my mood. That day I felt like some country western. When I hit the station, the host was sharing a news story about an elderly couple who had died on the same day. The husband had had a heart attack and was raced to the hospital. Less than an hour later, the ambulance returned to pick up the wife. He was on the third floor. She was in the emergency room. He died. When they went down to let her know he had passed, she was already gone. Incredibly, they had died at the same time. I was hooked. How is that possible?

Then There Are The Nay Sayers

Surprisingly, I’ve had some pretty strong“pushback” from some people about the concept of “Following In Love”. They attribute their passing close together as:

1.) Old School Thinking: In cases where women die right after their husbands they’d say, “The reason why is because women were subservient to their husbands. They died because they’re too insecure to live on.

-- Counter: Successful men follow close behind too!

2.) The remaining partner just “gave up on life” and died.

-- Counter: How do you explain them not knowing the other had died?
