A friend of mine died today. I'm in shock.

I'm really having a hard time wrapping my brain around this.  We talked just last Thursday.  

She called to tell me that her DH had just died.  Here it is just 4 days later and now she's dead, too.  

When she called to tell me about her DHs death I asked if he'd been ill and she'd said that he'd had a lingering cough for the past couple of weeks.  They'd both been woken up by some bad storms that were in our area and while they were checking on their house and possible damage he'd had a seizure.  

She called an ambulance and he was taken to the hospital where he died later that day.  She hadn't been sick at all that I know of.  Her mom came in from Houston (where the Mom lives) and took Friend back to Houston with her.  

The next thing I heard was that Friend was in the hospital in ICU.  And now I have learned that Friend has died.  They are saying it's the flu/infection, but I'm not sure.  I'm just in shock.  

Friend was 51 and her DH was 59.
