SENSE & SENSITIVITY - Widow omitted
from will needs attorney's advice
by Harriette Cole
DEAR HARRIETTE: Your response to
"Crestfallen" (who was not included in her
husband's will) is psychologically sound
but legally insufficient. Every state has
some statutory provision for a surviving
spouse award despite non-inclusion in the
decedent's will. For example, Section
15-l(a) of the Illinois Probate Act provides
for an award of no less than $20,000 for a
surviving spouse.
Furthermore, there may be a legal basis
to contest the will. If the will is successful-
ly challenged in Illinois, the surviving
spouse may get 50 percent of the dece-
dent's estate under the intestacy provisions
of the Probate Act. "Crestfallen" really
needs to talk to an attorney. — Concerned
Attorney, Chicago
DEAR CONCERNED ATTORNEY: I
want to thank you and the many readers
who wrote in to recommend that
"Crestfallen" speak to an attorney. I
focused on the widow's heart in my initial
remarks. In addition to grieving for her
loss and healing from the pain and shame
of what the husband chose to do with his
resources, this widow should reap finan-
cial benefit from his passing -- 30 years of
marriage surely earned her that. I appreci-
ate all of the readers who wrote in and
wanted to be sure she is properly cared for.
DEAR HARRIETTE: I know someone
who has been married more than 13 years
and feels stuck in her marriage. She is
committed to the marriage, but she realiz-
es that she's staying married because she
doesn't want to hurt her husband.
They have young children, and she feels
leaving would be selfish. There were some
serious issues early in the relationship, but
things have gotten better. I think that she's
forcing herself to be satisfied with how
things are.
She is even attracted to someone close to
her husband. She's liked him for years and
thought that it would just go away. What
do you think? — Observant Friend,
Shreveport, La.
DEAR OBSERVANT FRIEND: It looks
like the question on the table is, "What is
commitment?" Your friend needs to evalu-
ate her life to see what she wants and what
she's willing to commit to. The man who is
attractive to her right now is an indication
that her heart and focus are not centered
on her marriage. She needs to figure out
why.
She may want to review why she got
married in the first place. What did she
find attractive about her husband? What
values do they share? What works in their
marriage?
Next is the big step — talking to her
husband. She needs to drum up the cour-
age to tell him the truth about her feelings.
It can be extremely hard to say what's in
your heart, especially when so much is at
stake, but not saying something is worse.
It leaves so many unanswered questions,
and the children likely will suffer.
She should talk to her husband about
her state of mind. If she can get him to
agree to therapy, that would be amazing.
They can talk about what works and what
doesn't and chart their course for the
future together.

Astrograph - Thursday, November 1, 2012
by Bernice Bede Osol
In the year ahead, you are
likely to be exposed to a spate
of unusual opportunities for
material gain. If you fail to
take advantage of them, you'll
have only yourself to blame
for the state of your bank bal-
ance.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22)
— All the ideas you conceive
will be constructive and
functional, yet you may have
to water them down a bit, in
order for them to be employ-
able by less-gifted minds.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-
Dec. 21) — Financial condi-
tions are a bit unusual, causing
you to experience both gains
and losses. Fortunately, you're
likely to be using far more
black than red ink.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan.
19) — Chances are you'll be
far luckier when involved in
independent projects rather
than group-oriented ones. Go it
alone if you can.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb.
19) — Be prepared for a
bumpy ride in terms of your
financial prospects. If you keep
a cool head and a ready hand,
you should be able to ride out
the turbulence.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March
20) — Do not discount any
hunches, especially those that
pertain to your work or career
and could help advance your
interests. Your thinking is right
on target.
ARIES (March 21-April 19)
— Disengage from insignifi-
cant matters and concentrate
on what is truly important.
Lady Luck will be on your
side when you pay attention to
important objectives.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20)
— Details are extremely im-
portant, but somewhere along
the way you must concentrate
on the big picture. You can
always go back and finesse the
fine points at a later date.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20)
— An extremely enterprising
associate with whom you've
been closely involved in the
past will be instrumental in
helping you create something
that could be very important.
CANCER (June 21-July 22)
— If you're looking to make
some kind of important deal,
this could be the day to do it.
You're apt to be far more for-
tunate in striking a bargain or
acquiring an important job.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -
Someone with whom you'll be
involved could come up with
an ingenious idea concerning
your work or career. It'll have
a few flaws, but they can be
corrected.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -
Be careful that you don't un-
intentionally impose yourself
business-wise on someone you
know purely on a social basis.
Besides, chances are you'd do
better without them, anyway.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23)
— You're likely to find that a
development that you thought
was overwhelming is actually
far less intimidating. All your
fears will vanish.
