I'm too sad to help husband grieve our dog. Give advice to this Hax question.
Carolyn Hax can't get to every question she receives, so every week we ask readers to think like an advice columnist and submit their advice. Out of the many great responses we receive, we select a few standouts to publish on Wednesdays. Previous reader questions have been about worries for a daughter dating someone much older, finding hope after being cheated on and whether a boyfriend's disdain for dogs is a dealbreaker. No matter the question, Carolyn's readers always show up with thoughtful and useful advice. You can read last week's question and responses here.

Confront ex at reunion on behalf of ‘younger self'? Hax readers give advice.
We asked readers to channel their inner Carolyn Hax and answer this question. Some of the best responses are below. Hi Carolyn: I'm headed to a reunion next month, and one of the people who will be there is a former flame of mine. Things ended badly, and it messed me up for a while. Now, many years have passed, and I'm totally over it (happily married, great kids, satisfying life, etc.).

Carolyn Hax: Mom's ultimatum over a medical appointment doesn't feel good
Carolyn Hax is away. The following first appeared Feb. 23, 2011. Dear Carolyn: I'm a month late in scheduling a second postsurgical checkup for myself. My mother refuses to speak to me until I get the checkup and report the results to her. I am 37 and independent. I'm not procrastinating intentionally (e.g., in fear). I'm not requiring her to remain cordial as a precondition for acting on my own behalf. I know I will get around to making the appointment soon, and I'm comfortable with my management of my health care.

Carolyn Hax: As their wedding plans stall, daughter's groom suggests eloping
Carolyn Hax is away. The following first appeared Feb. 27, 2011. Dear Carolyn: My 34-year-old daughter is engaged to a wonderful man, 40. They plan to be married in her hometown (his family is from out of state), but that is all they can agree upon in regard to the wedding. Her fiancé would like to have his family there but knows it will be a disaster if he does. His mother has spoiled his siblings' weddings, and his brother has been cruel to him. (His father is deceased.) His mother is apparently a major control freak who will do anything to either sabotage, control or load on the guilt.
