Sounds like the husband is a 'Prince among Princes'.
I'd like to be a fly on the wall the day his perceived realitys hit the floor and his blinkers come off. Perhaps he's just pretending that it's all NOT happening. How awful it must be for his wife that he is not taking the time to spend her last few days and weeks with her.
Life is not precious to JWs only 'Time' written on a piece of paper.
