Amy Krouse Rosenthal, the prolific children's book author who wrote a devastating "Modern Love" column about her soon-to-be-widower husband, died in her home in Chicago on Monday from ovarian cancer. She was 51.
quote:
Rosenthal was best known for her many children's books, including "Duck! Rabbit!" "I Wish You More," and "Uni the Unicorn," among others. She also wrote two memoirs for adults, the highly-praised "Encyclopedia of an Ordinary Life" and its follow-up "Textbook Amy Krouse Rosenthal."
quote:
But one of her most powerful works was a column she wrote for The New York Times' recurring "Modern Love" feature in early March, titled "You May Want to Marry My Husband." In the article, Rosenthal wrote that she had been diagnosed with ovarian cancer and had little time left to live. Knowing these were her last days, she praised the loving virtues of her husband, making the column into a kind of a "dating profile" to help him find a new love after her death. "He is an easy man to fall in love with. I did it in one day," she wrote. "I have never been on Tinder, Bumble or eHarmony, but I'm going to create a general profile for Jason right here, based on my experience of coexisting in the same house with him for, like, 9,490 days."

I fell like this may have been reverse psychology. Now everyone will be watching his every move and it'll be too hard to date.

Wonder how the husband feels about this. I mean obviously he feels terrible right now. I'm not sure I'd want that hanging over my head when I'm ready to date again. Can you imagine the amount of desperate un-marryable women that will be knocking down his door?
Going to be a PITA to sort through all that.

Some women don't want to date after they lose their husbands. Not saying this is the case for all. But some don't. Some REALLY don't want their husbands to date or marry again. Maybe, deep down, she felt this way. What better way to make sure..
