I also hadn’t realized her son had committed suicide. Could simply be a broken heart, so no speculation here.
I think you may be right.
Long story-short...
Years ago, when my first husband tore my world apart with
his infidelity, I ended up in the hospital.
I went from 120 lbs, down to 80 lbs.
My doctor came in and said to me, while holding my hand
“You know, I can fix a lot of things, but I can’t fix a broken heart.”
I finally got myself back together, and found my prince!
We will celebrate our 40th anniversary this year!
But grief can kill. When you become that badly hurt, it changes your immune system too.
I hope Priscilla makes it!
