Diane is facing multiple stressors, including a stressful job and her mother's cancer diagnosis. This may lead her to retire earlier than her husband, who enjoys his job as a physician at a local hospital. Additionally, the fact that Diane's co-workers support her suggests that she has been in the workforce for some time and may be closer to retirement age.
