Have you ever known elderly couples who died within weeks or months of each other. About 10 years back the neighbour was sick, yet she recovered and her husband died. My neighbour was disoriented without her husband and three weeks later she died too. last month another neighbour died. The wife was in a nursing home but her family never told her that her husband died. We feel she sensed it because within three weeks she died too.

I have known and heard of many that have done just that. Sounds like you need to get out of that neighborhood. lol? I think when a couple are together and go old together they kind of hold on mentally and physically for the other person. When ones goes the other gives up.

could be, they were so used to their partner that life may not feel worth living anymore
