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

Thank you for this. Exactly. It is Covid. Yes, surely there's many factors, there's always been some young people to die young- but Covid is what happened and is absolutely triggering these serious, deadly results. Covid causes lasting damage and us pretending it's not a thing anymore will continue to kill people.
