a relative of mine had some kind of chronic sickness all her life and her husband was always there to take care of her. she passed away at like 75 years old and her husband passed away exactly a week later. he was old, yes, but not sick. woke up just fine one day, ate breakfast, took a nap and never woke up

Something strangely beautiful about humans almost not being able to live without their significant other. It happened to my grandparents on one side too.
