Sadly,it’s *very* common with old folks.One dies and the other is gone within days/weeks.
Uh oh. Prayers.
That was fast.
Happened to my dad, my mom died and he lost all will to live and died within a year after her......
May God watch over you President Bush and welcome you to heaven to reunite you with your loving wife...........
And sometimes the surviving spouse surprises everyone and goes on to live longer than anyone expected. Sometimes it’s hard to tell.
Broken heart....
let’s all pray for him.
He probably doesn’t want to be in their house by himself without her.
“... after contracting an infection that spread to his blood...”
Sepsis? I doubt “recovering” is the proper description as the prognosis for sepsis is not very good and extremely poor for some one of his age.
Took my mother in just a matter of hours at 83.
I’m sure Saturday was an unusually long day for him - probably weakened his defenses, and he was already frail.
Just watch CNN,MSNBC and he is gone.
Dont count him out just yet, its soon to be summer in Maine
Just thinking about not having my wife around after 40 years of marriage brings a tear to my eye....
President Bush Sr. Needs to go home to be with his wife...
This occurred Sunday morning according to the Houston Chronicle and was hospitalized
for a blood infection
snip
“President Bush was admitted to the Houston Methodist Hospital yesterday
morning after contracting an infection that spread to his blood,” McGrath wrote
Monday. “He is responding to treatments and appears to be recovering. We
will issue additional updates as events warrant.”
I went to DU to capture some vile comments on this, there were none (one mild jab at Trump). I’m the last to give any credit over there, libs anywhere ... but it felt good to see that they are in essence saying the same things said here.
Political and philosophical differences aside, PRAYERS SENT.
No real surprise if he dies soon. I read his book, much of it was about her.
My dad and a good friend of mine both succumbed to “blood infections”. Took them months but nothing could be done.
And I was SURE my dad would win as he had beaten both colon cancer and thyroid cancer in the years prior.
Half of his actual being is gone after decades together.
Totally understandable that his resistance plunged...prayers for all who are aching.
Oh, dear.
Vaya Con Dios, Poppy

PLenty more photo-ops and bootys too goose out there.
