Honestly. get her a nice little puppy

But since Jennifer met that widow, perhaps she is worried inside her heart, you will pass away soon, and she will be left alone the same as that girl. That will be hard. Just to enjoy the best times of your lifes and then start again. I supposed she can learn from the widow, but she is probably thinking. OMG that might be me. That is why she is homesick, because she wants to be near something that comforts her in dark thinking. Have you talked seriously about that?
