My ex passed away at age 70. We were more or less out of touch and the divorce was nearly 40 years ago, so I can't say we were close. However, we did talk now and then and had some mutual friends. No matter what, if someone you were married to passes, it's weird.

I think we settled on the fact that marriage ruined a great friendship that had its benefits. We went to the high school prom together. So I guess I lost a friend too.

But when you're 90, isn't just about everyone going to be younger than you when they pass? At that stage one is going to see a lot of death.
