Hm. Some fun guesses there by the program and several truths (but then given the nature of the questions, it would be surprising if some didn't come out right!) However, if 'Abide with me' is how I currently feel about life, then...

It was sung at Rosalie's funeral and I still can't hear it without crying.

(I saw my nephews - Rosalie's children - yesterday and I'm glad to say that they're lovely happy little boys who love playing games and being read stories. It was lovely to visit them. Their dad's fantastic with them; but I see the sadness in his eyes when Rosalie's name is mentioned.)

I like the idea of Susan as my lucky star. There's a serendipitious element of truth there. And waveney is exactly where he should be. Hugs.

We sung it at my mum's as well, with much the same lasting result.

Abide With Me is one of the best known hymns. It is often sung at funerals and on Anzac Day, perhaps because the author, Henry F. Lyte, was dying of tuberculosis at the time he wrote it and it was first sung at his own funeral in 1847. Strangely, it is rarely sung to his original score today. Half a century after his death, William Monks wrote a haunting melody called Eventide, which is now completely associated with the hymn.
