She was 92. I wouldn't just presume she died from "grief". |

RIP Dottie (and Bill) ... it reminds me of how my grandparents passed away one right after another back in 2011. Grandpa was 92 and passed in March of that year ... and my grandmother only lived a few months more after that and passed away in May aged 93 ... they would have celebrated their 67th wedding anniversary that August. |

She was 92. I wouldn't just presume she died from "grief". I had a friend in her late 60s to early 70s who seemingly lost her purpose in life after her husband passed, she passed about 4-5 months later. She had other family she was with regularly and I don't know of any real health issues with her. I bumped into her 2 or 3 times after he died and she told me few weeks before passing she had been just miserable since he died. I can't write off the possibility that grief at least contributes to a fair number of deaths after the passing of a spouse. |

I can't write off the possibility that grief at least contributes to a fair number of deaths after the passing of a spouse. I remember learning about this in Psych class. I suppose grief is just about as good a word for it as any. My neighbor who died nearly a year ago left behind his wife who is her early 80s. All year she has been talking about trying to find out who she is. For her, her husband was everything. He ordered her around, told her what to think, took care of all the finances, and everything she did was for him (cook, clean, etc.). Unfortunately, she has filled that void with old TV shows that she watches incessantly, and I keep wondering how long she can live like that. |

Maybe she’s found happiness without him, finally able to watch the shows he wouldn’t allow. |
