People dying in their fifties and sixties?

[antelopevalley]

I know the stats around life expectancy, but I am finding it mentally hard that so many people I know have died in their fifties and sixties. A few were expected e.g. colleague who was a functional alcoholic, but so many were not expected. A marathon runner who was very fit. A slim and active woman who died of cancer. Another woman who was sporty who died of a rare lung infection. etc etc.

I really do not expect this as I got older. It makes me afraid and makes me worry my partner could die at any time.

My husband died suddenly aged 50, brain haemorrhage. We’d lost both his parents the previous month within 2 days of each other. They were in their late 80s
shit happens

Since my last post, a colleague in their 40s passed away suddenly. We are all shocked and sad. May they RIP.

I guess you just never know.
