Q: By having an open and honest conversation early, this may reduce stress in the long run.  In terms of medical care and treatment, work with your spouse and family on completing an advanced directive and medical treatment preferences regarding their care.  Often you want to have this conversation, then break for a while to let everyone process and think about it. This helps you and your family not be ruled by your emotions when making decisions. Reconnect later to hash out the official decisions. These can include the following:   Appointing a "health care agent" or Medical Power of Attorney.  You are the default decision-maker regarding your spouse's care, unless another family member is appointed via the advance directive; or if you are unable to mentally or physically assist with decisions. Determining medical treatment preferences,  such as Do Not Resuscitate (DNR) Status if no heart rate, or unable to breathe independently. Deciding if you wish to donate your organs or body for medical purposes. Talk with a lawyer about estate planning, and how to address any financial assets that may change ownership if your spouse passes.  Obtain current information about your spouse's financial holdings, debts, and assets, in order to avoid headaches and surprises after your loved one passes.   If seeking legal advice is too costly, look into lower cost options through your state's legal aid program, or if you or your spouse are over 60, there may be a senior legal aid hotline through your state. Depending on your family's spiritual background, there may be specific wishes, such as burial versus cremation.  There may also be preferences about location of the burial, or where to scatter the ashes.  By understanding your loved one's specific wishes, you can honor their choices.  You or other family members may have differences of opinion about how to memorialize a loved one, but the best way is to respect those choices made by your spouse. Consider calling various funeral homes, before your loved one is near death, in order to understand the varying costs and options available.  By understanding your budget for funeral expenses, you can be better prepared when the time comes, and not face additional financial burdens. In our modern age, your spouse may have many online accounts for email, banking, retirement, insurance, and bill paying.  Collect the passwords and account details of all these accounts that need to be monitored, paid, and closed.   As the spouse, you will likely become the primary person responsible for handling the bills, and closing accounts, in your loved one's name. Consider making a "Lifebox" folder with all the various details of the spouse's medical, financial, and personal contacts.  In an emergency, it will be easier to reference this folder, than to rummage through files, or piles of paper. Discuss with your spouse and family if there are ways to honor your spouse after he or she has passed.  Depending on what your spouse loved most, these actions could be big or small:  Plant a tree Dedicate something in your spouse's name Give or donate personal possessions, or your time, to the community Create a scrapbook of happy memories Set up a charitable fund in your spouse's name
A: Engage in a family discussion about your spouse's end-of-life wishes. Make a living will and get your finances in order. Discuss funeral preferences and ways to memorialize. Keep a list of your spouse's personal contacts and financial information. Honor your spouse's memory and legacy.

Article: In the short term, going out for drinks at an intimate lounge or to a nice coffee shop are often good venues. But over time try to discover mutual interests and mix things up by asking her to join you in more original activities. For example:  If you share a love of nature, then plan a hike or camping trip at a state park or wilderness preserve. If you’re both movie buffs, then invite her to a local film festival. If you are both thrill seekers, then head to an amusement park or carnival where there are intense rides. Show up for dates on time, return her calls in a timely fashion, and keep your promises to show her that she can trust you. Over time, she will see that you are someone who is truly dependable and this is a valuable quality in a mate.  If you have to cancel a scheduled date, make sure you give her as much notice as possible. Offer an apology if your plans change and offer alternative arrangements. For example, you could say something like, “I am really sorry that I have to cancel. Can we meet up for dinner instead of lunch?” Always be honest. Telling lies, even little ones, will lead to trust issues in your relationship. Make sure that you tell the truth at all times. Be an active listener by nodding your head and making neutral statements such as “mmhm” or “right.” When she’s done talking, try to summarize what she just said to show her that you were paying close attention. If you don’t understand something or you want to know more, then ask a question to get her to clarify.  For example, you could ask something like, “What did you mean when you said ___?” Or, “Can you tell me more about why you decided to move to this city?” To truly listen, stop texting on your phone, mute the television, and put down what you’re doing. By multitasking you may miss important aspects of what a woman is trying to communicate.

When you spend time with her, make the occasional joke, get a little silly, or do other things to make her laugh. It is important to find someone who think you are funny. Don’t try to change your sense of humor or personality to please someone else because that will not work in the long run. It is normal encounter problems over the course of a relationship, and that means that sometimes you will need to apologize. A good apology will include the following elements:  A summary of what you did wrong. For example, “I am sorry that I lied about going out with my friends.” An understanding of her feelings.

For example, “From now on I will be more honest about my whereabouts.” An offer to make amends. For example, “Is there anything I can do to make it up to you?” A request for forgiveness. For example, “Can you forgive me for what I did?”

Plan interesting dates. Show that you are trustworthy. Listen to her. Make her laugh. Apologize if you make a mistake.

Q: If you plan on tarping your roof without a professional, you should bring some friends and family to help. Laying out a tarp can be dangerous, so it's important that you have an extra pair of hands to help with the more menial work. If you are certain you want to do it by yourself, make sure there's someone in the house that can help you if there's an emergency. If possible, wait to do this on a dry day. Bring a brush with you onto the roof. Remove all branches, leaves, and debris so that the roof is completely clear. Make sure you brush off all the leaves so that no insect life is trapped under the tarp later. If some of the branches are particularly heavy, you may need some help lifting them off your roof. Tarps can be unwieldy, especially on a windy day. Bring the tarp out of its packaging. It can either come folded, or as a roll. Either way, find a corner of the tarp. Once you have a firm grasp on it, have a helper grab an opposite end. As you move away from each other the tarp will naturally unroll. Lay the tarp across the roof so that at least 4 feet (1.2 m) lies on the sloped part of your roof on each side (known as the 'Peak'). Let the rest of the tarp hang off the lower border of the roof that overhangs the wall (known as the 'Eave'). Never lay the tarp out during a storm. Never walk on the tarp.
A:
Get some friends or family to help you. Clear all debris on the roof. Unroll the tarp from the corners. Lay the tarp out flat over the roof.
