[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When people become so deeply distraught about a 90+ year old's death. Yes it is sad. Yes, we will all miss them. But to call the death "tragic" and ask "how will I go on?" as I have heard on many occasions angers me greatly.

When anyone reaches their 90s and then dies it is not "tragic". They are the lucky ones among us and essentially won the long life lottery. 
The privilege of living that long is an achievement and while their life should be celebrated, what other outcome was expected?????[/quote]

Definitely agree with this. I had a coworker who lost her 95 year old mother to covid in 2021. She saw on Facebook (due to my mother posting unauthorized photos) that I had an outdoor birthday party for my son and she lost it at me. "THIS VIRUS IS NO JOKE. I LOST MY MOTHER" Well, she was slowly fading from Alzheimers and then had a quick death. I don't think that's a bad outcome.

This. My mother was devastated for 18 months after my grandfather died at the age of 88. So much so that I felt that i couldn't tell her about my repeat pregnancy losses because I couldn't add to her sadness. Her grief just sucked all of the air out of the room. I've made peace with it now, but there's still a part of me that's angry that I couldn't rely on my mom when I was going through one of the worst periods of my own life. [/quote]
