and they were the "nice" bush side

Just saying....

My great grandfather/grandmother were married for 60+ years. He was in relatively good condition when she suddenly passed. A month later he passed. There is no doubt in my mind that he died of a broken heart. The new reality for him was just more than he could deal with.

She will sail along for many more years.
The women in that family are damn strong!

She sure doesn't look 91. Her mom lived to 101.

If she dies, I think Phillip will, but not the other way around.

her going home for palliative care. I doubt GHWB will last a full year.

...who lived, entirely self-sufficiently, in the house they had owned for decades. They each died, of natural causes, within a day of each other.

Not a bad way to go.

I don't have much love for Bush senior, but I wouldn't want anyone to go through what he's likely experiencing right now.

At some point, I am going to have to deal with reality...

I was surprised to see her giving up late last week. But you have a point, I wouldn't be surprised to see 41 give up before year end, I hope not, but such a loss at that age must be tough.

gruesome or unfeeling it comes in 3's.

The day of the funeral, the remaining two went home and died in each other's arms.

Growing up....there was a bachelor that lived with mum, he was devoted to her....he was in his late 50's when his mother passed, t, he held a wake at the house. After everyone left, he went to bed, and passed away in his sleep...

My great aunt (90) died last May. My great uncle (94) passed in March. He was lost without her.

Mom died. Her dad went 6 hours later.

Regardless, the Bush family has been evil and destructive to the United States of America.

I will not shed any tears for their deaths.

I didn't think she would be the first to go.

and he's not in the best health himself

I recall hearing she'd been hospitalized, but it didn't sound real serious. I was surprised to read she opted for hospice, then passed very quickly. I did think she'd outlive him, but I don't honestly see him lasting too much longer either. The recent pictures of him make me think he's got CHF, too.
