The meaning is clear. It's a vow to remain married - in sickness and in health -until death. The circumstances are so extreme in this case, it may be understandable. But divorcing him isn't giving "new meaning" to the vow. It's breaking the vow.
And she’s being celebrated. Yet another example of how fricked up this world has become.

Reminds me of the story “My boyfriend’s cancer was impacting my mental health so I left him and am now running a marathon in his honor. Click here to sponsor me”

The OT baws are coming out in full force to espouse the "till death do us part" of the vows. Must ahve hit a nerve with many many OT baws. Sorry for your loss baws. You'll find love again guys

I agree with your sentiment. No one is more aware of marriage vows than me. My first wife left me for another man. I waited on her for months hoping she would realize what she was doing. I did not divorce her even though I had Biblical grounds to do so. She did finally divorce me.
I'm married now 26 years and if something happened to my wife, I would take care of her for the rest of my life with whatever resources I have. No issue at all. But I have also told my wife is something like this happens to me, I welcome her to put me in a nursing home or facility and divorce me and try to enjoy her life.
In the instance of this family, they were very young when this happened, and she wanted children. She found a man that would accept what she wanted to do for her first husband, and he seems to have embraced it as part of their family.
I have no issue given how this has played out at all. She seems to love him and is taking care of him. My .02cents worth.

There’s nothing touching about that story.

What a stupid thing to say. The fact many of us here take our wedding vows seriously doesn’t mean our marriages are over (mine is almost 28 years and stronger than ever) what it means is it’s sad to us how casually so many cast aside something so sacred.

This chick's seems like a regulat everyday whore to me. I'm only crying because we live in a society where this skank is celebrated instead of spit on.

I read this story laying next to my wife. I told her to put a bullet in my head before dragging me around for her new marriage. It's a touching story I guess, and I'm not saying the wife is an awful whore, but it just doesn't sit right.

I’m wondering if the first husband that got in the wreck had any family alive/near him that was willing to help him? He was still fairly young. Why did he end up still living with the wife after she divorced him?
If I became severely disabled in my early 20s, I would want my mom/dad/siblings to be the ones changing my diaper…not my wife’s new husband.

I was not ready for that at all 
when the current husband said if anything happened to his wife he'd apply for guardianship and still take care of him someone started cutting onions. Stories like this make you realize we are not as divided as the media portrays us to be. America, hell, the entire world, is full of stories like this. Mankind may have a lot of evil in it, but the good will always trump the bad. Thank you for sharing this.

This is an example of why I lament the move from text to video that we've seen for the internet and for news. CBS can dress this up with nice "soft focus" photographs and pensive-sounding string music, but if you just read the story and do your own analysis this is the terrible story of a harlot. I can assure you that if that happened to me my wife would not put me in a home and then shack up with some other fricking man.

what in the frick is wrong with some of you?
The guy is basically a vegetable, and she's still taking care of him.
Her life doesn't need to be served as a full time nurse to him when she's in her early 20's and didn't have kids.
This guy has some long term memory, and his short term memory lasts 10 seconds. He has hardly any idea what's going on, and has to be cared for 24/7.
IF you have a problem with a person finding new love to start a family in her 20's, while still taking care of their first spouse who's basically a vegetable, then you have a problem. this guy can barely even understand what's happening in life. Calling her a whore and skank is ridiculous. If i was in that state before my wife and I had kids I wouldn't want to be a burden on her, and i'd want her to go find a new husband and have a family, and i'd do the same if it was her in that situation.
Now i wouldn't do that right now, since we have kids and are older, but to expect a young couple in this circumstance to stay together is ridiculous. It's not like she doesn't still love the guy, but she can't have a life with him, and any normal human being can see that.

Do NOT mess with the OT baws and their marriage vows.

This happened when brother died I had to admit that I may have misjudged her. The new husband was so generous and genuine that we just accepted him as family too.

Considering he said if her ex husband comes out of it he would tell her to leave him to get back with her ex I'm going to go with this one. Just an extremely weird thing to say about your wife and mother of your two kids.
This chick has a horrible tattoo. She was pretty cute in those wedding pics but she's packed them on and got an awful tattoo now.
