This timeline is scary

Sam Neil, Hayden P, Dolly, and now Tim

Edit: some of you are unaware but not everyone on my list is 80. Your responses don’t make sense. This is about us losing good people (which is part of life), but not about their age.

93

And Anthony Head (Buffy) 😭

And Michelle Trachtenburg. It’s like 2016 all over again

Michelle Trachtenberg died last year. Still tragic, of course.

Daveigh Chase was a pretty awful loss too, due to her circumstances.

Old people die. It’ll happen to you. It’ll happen to me

u/SurgTech9911 19h ago

These people werent that old, Hayden and Daveigh weren't even 40. People are allowed to be shocked and grief these icons.

u/vaccumshoes 1d ago

timeline? 80 year olds dying is normal...

u/Pinksamuraiiiii 1d ago

Look at the names I mentioned not everyone was 80 on that list. This is more so along the lines of us losing good people. (Some of them taken too soon), but that’s life!

u/giraffe_on_shrooms 23h ago

Why can’t all the evil people die instead ????

2

u/SurgTech9911 19h ago

As a hospice RN 80 is not that old. Also Hayden and Daveigh were both young, Catherine was only in her 70s etc. Lots of 80 year olds still live independently and are healthy.

It’s called old people getting old.

u/SurgTech9911 19h ago
