Marriage is in sickness and in health. Divorce is pretty finite. You sever relations, and that’s that. If Bruce and/or his wife would have wanted to maintain contact, why would they have gone their separate ways? Why should impending death change things?

Rather than visit his ex-wife (bad idea in my book), Bruce could write her a long, sympathetic letter. It would mean something to the ex, I believe. And it wouldn’t require one-on-one contact, which could release all sorts of pent-up feelings. Also, it might be something the ex-wife could think about and draw strength from in the tough days ahead.

Bruce owes her nothing.

As a healer, I advise you, Bruce, to read your own question carefully and you will clearly understand why you should absolutely not go. Your ex wife was a self destructive smoker with negative friends and famil. Maybe she drove you to cheat.

He can go visit, but if he wants peace in his remarried life, he better tell his new wife about the visit and get her okay (I know about wives: 3 in succession and they don’t get easier with every remarriage either)
