When we get married, we promise that we are going to live our lives together from that point forward. Some people are actually able to accomplish that feat and they do so in a rather amazing way. They may be married for decades and the longer they are together, the more inseparable they become. In fact, there is nothing that can separate them from each other.
There are many ways in which this type of a bond can be seen but one that most people find amazing is when an older couple is nearing the time when they will die. Even if only one of them is sick at the time, the other may end up getting sick and dying within a few days or weeks after the first. It is an amazing thing to see, and it happens far too often to be a coincidence.
The man and the woman in this story have spent many decades together with each other and they are in a loving relationship. When you look at the world around you, you might sometimes feel as if this type of love does not exist but there are still shining examples of it if you know where to look. This type of undying love is amazing to see and, thanks to somebody posting this story on Reddit, it was possible for many people to see love never dies.
A picture of an elderly man and his wife holding hands across two beds was posted. The woman who posted the picture said that they were her grandparents.
She writes: “My Grandma, 96, with my Grandpa, 100, hours before her death this weekend. 77 years of marriage.”
We are sorry for her loss but happy that a true love story does exist.
Losing somebody you love so much is obviously difficult and we can’t imagine how hard it was for him to see her as the end came close.
He may be 100 years old, but he could continue to live for quite some time. When he does die, we hope that he is comforted in knowing that he cared for his wife.
Some couples may pass within hours of each other after spending such a long life together.
It is known as “brokenhearted syndrome” and it is associated with the stress and grief that occurs when we lose a loved one. Those factors are more than a mental condition, they can have an effect on our physical health.
Brokenhearted syndrome can affect someone who is elderly or in poor health.
One example is Jim and Cindy Minnini. He was diagnosed with cancer and given very little time to live.
His wife was so stressed over the situation, she suffered from a heart attack and was hospitalized.
When Jim was reaching the end, arrangements were made so they could be together in the same hospital room. He held her hand as he passed away.
