First of all my condolences for your loss.
I was blessed to be with both of my parents when they passed in 2014. Mom in August (complications from inoperable lung cancer) and Dad in December (broken heart emphysema, heart failure, and alzheimers/dementia related problems). They had been married a few days shy of 61 years when Mom passed. The order of passing was in itself a blessing. So long as my Mother was alive my Father by force of will would be there with her. My sister and I counted 7 or 8 times in his last 10-12 years he should have died but didn't. His answer as to why he survived, while still clear headed was he had to take care of his "girl". after these almost 8 years I still miss them, occasionally shed a tear, especially when something catches me by suprise and I think I have to tell them about it. They are in a far better place now with no more pain and suffering.
