To know somebody before marriage is one thing, but to know someone during marriage is another. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I mean, the guy won't have to live too long without her. It's simply their time to go. Well, I kind of agree and kind of don't. I do feel slightly sad when older folk pass away. I had a great aunt die at 100 a few years back, and while that is a great age to make it to, I still felt slightly sad of her passing. So some sadness can be felt at a great age. But your right in a sense. Most people don't get to live that long with their spouses, and while divorce is to blame for a lot of them, some people marriages sadly get cut short from an early death of one of them. Not many of them have the ability to reach old age together, so that's certainly an achievement for them. So when they do die, while it's still sad, it's nowhere near as heartbreaking as the death of Bradley Lowrey or Joey Feek, for example. But it's still okay to feel slightly sad. That comment I made was more on the fact that one of my major idols may not have that long to live, not feeling extremely super sad for her wife, cause I haven't heard a lot about her.

Of course it can still be sad. 100 years may seem like a long time compared to others, but it probably passes much more quickly than we realize. Saying goodbye to someone you care about is always going to hurt. What I mean to say is that we all have to face the inevitable someday, and under these circumstances they got a happy ending. Finding someone who will love you early on and growing old with them is really the most we can ever hope for. Doesn't mean that it doesn't suck when it ends.

Everybody dies, and some people have been immensely luckier than others. I think it's sadder when someone dies without experiencing much happiness. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
