This is a big concern of mine as well, we are both 54, she is hoping to retire at 57 with a bigger eventual SS payment than me (she makes more), but with no pension. I hope to go at 62 with SS, and a 28 year pension, but taking a full survivorship because of my health issues. She comes from a long line of long living females, so it is only right that I care for her after i'm gone.
There might be another option for you (not offered at my Megacorp). It would be to take a lump sum payment for your pension, and invest it appropriately for her to live a long time.
