I would agree with you except for the fact that in a competelely non scientific survey of the people I have known that died following these two events, no serious prevailing health issues were found.
It was almost as if they lost the will to live.
I know it sounds metaphysical, but what if, stress or obligation somehow produces a hormone in our body that keeps our ticker going and we reduce that stress/obligation the hormone stops and our body decides to stop too
Hey I kinda of agree with you. About my parents, my father was a ‘burden’ in a way to my mother for many years.
After he died, she died not too long later. I thought it would be easier without him, but I used to say her burden held her up.
I don’t necessarily disagree. I am only cautioning drawing an unwarranted interference.
