[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think it's more abnormal when an old (like 85+) person dies of natural causes and their child acts like it is the shock of the century. Did you think they would live to be 100+?[/quote]

Exactly. You should be be prepared for your parents' deaths by the time they're 60. A heart attack could come along and take them away in an instant.

Why do so many people have such unnatural and unhealthy attitudes towards death?[/quote]

You post s**t like this on every thread. 60 is not “old” nowadays, but regardless, there’s nothing psychological about being shocked or devastated when people die at 60. My kids will be in their twenties when I’m 60.

And while I agree that it’s not shocking when a parent in their 80s dies, it can still cause very deep grief. But there’s no right or wrong way to experience it.[/quote]

My mom cried when my great granddad died at 100. Just because he was very old didn't mean she wasn't sad about his death (my grandmother predeceased him).  Everybody dies, it doesn't mean death isn't sad.[/quote]
