Hi my next door neighbour’s husband died two weeks ago. I was with my neighbour on Saturday a couple of times to get her some breakfast and a few hours later some lunch. She fell Saturday night, was in hospital with pneumonia and died this morning. They were always kind to us she used to call and tell me every time my parents would travel to call if I had nightmares or if I heard noises at 3 am. I never have called of course but she would tell me this for 30 years or more. This is a pretty neat memory, eh? I think I am sad because we were just at the husband’s funeral. Cause of death is old age and she knew once the husband died she would die.

as sad as that was, it may be a blessing that she doesn't have to go on without him. it is never easy to lose a friend though .. hugs for you and prayers for the family.

Oh how sad... It does seem that once an elderly spouse dies, the other partner often follows fairly quickly.
It was a very good thing that you spent some time with her that day and helped her with her meals. You showed her great kindness, of the sort she had expressed to you over the years.
You have my condolences.

I’m sorry you have lost a friend. I agree with ntsf, it is a blessing when a loving couple pass either together from the same event or close in time to each other so that the remaining spouse is spared the grief and loneliness they would otherwise have to deal with. I mentioned on another post recently that my mom was just so very lost without my father, and that knowing they are together now makes it easier to deal with Mom’s passing. |

Cause of death is old age This is never a cause of death. She was living independently, fell, got pneumonia. Cause of death could be a blood clot, a pulmonary embolism, respiratory failure, all kinds of things. Her grief probably lowered her immune system making it harder to fight off the issues. I am so sorry that this couple who meant a lot to you has passed away. You made the last weeks of her life better. |

She sounds like a lovely neighbor and I'm so sorry for your loss. You didn't mention how old they were, but it isn't unusual for long term partners to pass within a month of each other.  |

I'm sorry. I know you will miss your sweet neighbor friends.
