LWCZ 188 Posted April 8, 2023 5 hours ago, Samorost said: Alice born 1478 and her son born 1490? In 12? To ho měla ve dvanácti? Whoops, yeah, no, sorry, my mistake. Thanks for pointing it out! There are multiple possible dates for both Alice's (possibly 1474 or 1478) and Richard's (either 1490, 1495 or 1502) dates of birth, and since I used to work on the family tree mostly late at night, I screwed up here. Additionally, I've just checked and a few sources say that Alice got married in 1493 though, so now that I think about it, it's more than likely that Alice was born around 1474 and Richard 1502 (in 1495 Alice supposedly gave birth to Thomas Croxton Carter, a brother to Richard and William). So once more, díky, and sorry for the inaccuracy! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm guessing they will pass in quick succession. My interpretation was that he was referring to them as a couple, as their being together would end upon his death, but I don't disagree that she could die from a broken heart. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bfc 50 Posted May 24, 2023 The question is does she go at 96, or does she get to 97, thus tying Bess Truman’s record? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DeathClock 379 Posted May 30, 2023 Honestly, every 95-year-old has some sort of memory problem and maybe some form of dementia. Therefore, I'm thinking her memory problems are severe enough to warrant being diagnosed and statement. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

msc 18,439 Posted May 30, 2023 1 minute ago, Toast said: They seem to be always together so difficult to see how it could be avoided. A couple in an older generation of the family were married a long time. One had dementia for years, the other was their carer but then the non-dementia one died suddenly from age related issues. Nobody told the surviving half about the death of their spouse but they could tell something important was missing and they just went downhill and died a fortnight later. Lovely couple, completely inseparable. This was twenty years ago now but I often think of them when we see frail old couples like the Carters or Prunella Scales and Timothy West. 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JustPassingThrough 148 Posted May 30, 2023 1 hour ago, Toast said: They seem to be always together so difficult to see how it could be avoided. I recently read a post somewhere else on the forum (can't recall specifics, sorry) about a retired boxer with dementia whose wife had died, and apparently he usually thought she was just out doing errands. I guess in a circumstance like that, it might be better not to correct him since he won't remember the conversation anyway. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
