Default Re: When it's Death and Not Divorce...

My aunt and uncle were on the verge of divorce for the longest time. They simply couldn't get on without each other, and so they divorced after like thirty five years of marriage. My uncle, who was always a bit of a drinker, started getting arrested for drunk driving, and started being drunk all the time; five years later he died of respiratory and liver issues. Everyone had come to the realization that he'd basically died of a broken heart over the divorce. My aunt, who had basically just been mad at him the whole time, totally went over the brink at his funeral, wailing and freaking out. I think that was about the saddest thing I'd ever seen, seeing that it was too late for them to reconcile.
