My understanding is that it must be fictional? I'll give it a go...

Dear Hal,

I am in my third year of marriage with my beautiful wife. My problem, however, stems from the fact that she died in the second. Now, I'm certainly not one to hold such a disability as death against someone and indeed omitted the 'till death do us part' clause from our vows. However, I seem to get a lot of flak from my friends and family on the issue. They keep telling me to move on. That seems terribly insensitive to me; my lovely wife is already suffering from this debilitating issue and they want me to leave her on top of it! It seems absurd to me.

How can I get those close to me to accept my wife as she is? When will there be more tolerance towards the living impaired?

Yours,
Dead tired of lifeism, AL
Excuse my morbid sense of humour.
