  1. When Actress Debbie Reynolds daughter Actress Carrie Fisher died suddenly a few years back Debby died 2 days later of a broken heart. Very sad story. So yes, I believe it happens. My 80 yr old Dad grieved my Mothers passing that he died on Christmas Day.

  2. I had a next door neighbor who died. First a husband then his wife died the next day. So sad. They can’t live without each other. Yes I believe it happens.

  3. I have seen this in real life. How many times has a spouse passed and within a few weeks the other passes.
    Grief can kill…

  4. Absolutely true! As a cardiac Cath lab nurse, I witnessed several cases of “Takatsubo” or “broken heart syndrome”
    It often follows the delivery of bad news such as a death of loved one, enormous financial loss, job loss etc. causing a sudden cardiac event.

  5. Yes, I believe that. Actually have seen it happen when a spouse dies after many years of marriage.
    Many people describe it as losing your right arm. In a way, yes. But I think it’s more of a broken heart.
