I took over the laundry while our kids were still at home. The laundry room was in the basement, and she had trouble with stairs. I took over the dishwashing when I got tired of the sink being full when I needed it for something. She tried to mow the lawn once. My son eventually got big enough to help with that and snow removal. Then he moved out, and it was all mine again. I took over meal preparation at least 2 years before my wife died, and did all the shopping for years before that. My life didn’t change much when she died.
