It's very sweet that you love your wife "so very much" enjoy your time together, she may outlive you, and she may not...there's no way to really know.
Haha, thank you very much. Hopefully we go within a few years of each other like her mom and dad. It felt kind of cheezy to say that but it just came out.
Wife lost both parents by the age of 25 (mom died at 46) (dad died at 50).
Will the law of averages apply? Is it a good thing that I brought here to the USA?
I can't help but wonder. I love her very much.
Thanks
I would not base too much on her parents life expectacy, but of course it is a reason for concern. Remember science has come a long way and keeps finding new cures for illnesses that were not even treatable 10 years ago. As for her family, here is the perfect example of family history meaning nothing. My step mom passed away a few months ago. She was just short of 95. Both her parents and her siblings lived only to reach theri late 60s or maybe early 70s. She had a triple by pass, at 70, cancer twice and a stroke..What did she die or? Plain old age and she was tired of living. I would add, the rest of her family were born in Europe, though they did come to America just before she was born...Will your wife live to be 70, 80 or 90? Who knows but I don't think you need to be too concerned at this point. Just keep loving her!!!

Do you know her parents' cause of death? Many health conditions run in families or are hereditary. Go from there...
Heart trouble on both sides.
Father had a heart attack. Mother had rheumatic fever at 5 which caused other complications with her heart.
