[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Her mother also died of cancer at 64.

Caroline, who has never run for office or been known for seeking thrills, has lived through a lot of sorrow.

And BTW, this isn’t the grief Olympics. One can feel sympathy for her and for families affected by other tragedies. [/quote]

Her mother's death wasn't exceptionally young. For a woman born in the 1920s, the life expectancy was about 70 years, plus her mother was a heavy smoker.[/quote]

I disagree. I remember when Jackie Kennedy died and people widely commented how young she was. At that time, early- mid 1990s, 75 was considered a respectable age to pass away, younger than that was always tinged with greater sadness. Nowadays it seems to be 85.

I do feel sorry for Caroline Kennedy. I also think of someone I know, a lovely man whose wife died of cancer when their only child was 15, and then that boy later went on to commit suicide in his late 20s. He once had a family, and now he is all alone.

Life is crappy.[/quote]
