A weird set of coincidences in my family…
Of the female blood relatives on my maternal side, I’m the only widow. There are plenty of widowers, and some uncles and male cousins (blood relatives) predeceased the women they married.
But of my female cousins who are gone, they left widowers.
In my own line,
My great grand-grandmother died at age 59, leaving her husband.
My grandmother died at age 79, leaving my grandfather.
My aunt (my mother’s only sister), passed at age 69, leaving her husband.
Then my own mother, age 89, leaving my father.
My sisters and I were looking at the records and thinking how odd it was.
