My ex's grandmother and her husband have been married over 50 years. She died in her sleep the very day she finalized his funeral arrangements and will. He died two weeks ago.
I don't envy things like lavish lifestyles....social statuses...etc. I envy things like this. This is how I'd like to see my relationship with the man I love end. Assuming I'd outlive him, he wants me to be strong and be here to keep his memory alive. But I think this (couples who follow each other so closely in death) says so much more than the greatest eulogy ever could possibly say. I can't even feel sad for their passing.
They obviously did something right in their relationship. We should learn from the old ones.

Whyte, I'm sorry for your loss. I know exactly what you mean. My in-laws, who were married over 40 years at the time, passed away 1 week apart. My MIL first, followed by FIL one week later. I truly believe he died of a broken heart. They were both in the hospital (thanks to my BIL, we'll never know exactly why but that's a whole other topic). After my MIL's funeral, my FIL seemed to have been getting better. He was off the respirator and able to sit up on his own in a chair. Two days later it all changed. I believe that they were truly meant to be together every day. I understand why you can't feel sad. I was sad in losing both of them because they were wonderful people but relieved that neither had to be without the other.
Yep, there's no situation in life I can think of I envy more--except living happily together.
I've come to terms with the idea that such an animal as a happy relationship doesn't exist in my book and I don't fret over it. Some people tolerate each other better than others - that's about it. I haven't seen a single relationship I can say I'd like to have (including observations of couples who claim to be happy).
I don't understand how it's possible for two disjoint physiological, biological, zoological entities to communicate to each other across different realms of state.
This exact thing happened to my aunt and uncle, although both died at a very young age. My uncle had some issues with booze but was such a great guy at heart. When my aunt passed away from cancer, he wouldnt come to terms with it, but instead would pretend she was still around, would often open the outside door and talk to her as if she was waiting to come in. Being a single guy in my thirties and seeing the high divorce rates and people running for the hills at a first sign of trouble, it gives me zero confidence that I could find someone and be with them for life. It just rarely happens in this western civilization, because we have grown selfish and greedy. As such, I am perfectly content being single.

Yea. My sister has said that when my mother goes, my father won't last much after even though he's extraordinarily healthy for his age.
It's kind of like part of you heart is taken from you.
