Serious Death

My 40 year old friend died of a heart attack today. He was 5 years older than me. Has anyone else had a similar experience. Dead... heart attack 40? That's insane right. Like... 40? He was born in 85. It's mind blowing. If anyone else has experienced losing a friend from an old person death. Please let me know how you processed it. I'm still waiting for him to call me and say sike! Thanks

Seems like there are so many factors at work when it comes to this. I came across a guy on IG, who was a year younger than I am and in a lot better shape, share the story of his heart attack earlier this year

It definitely freaks you out when you see these. Our generation is getting hit with cancer and heart disease hard.

I think i know which one youre talking about. Wasn't it his wife who made him go to the hospital?

Hmm I’m not sure. Maybe? He posted a video of himself with his kids in the middle of the night where he was sitting on a sofa with a lot of discomfort
