Question

Bizarre passing of Debbie Reynolds

How more strange can fate get. This couldn't have been scripted better had it been a movie. Was it the news of the death of her daughter that hastened her passing or was it that she was actually that ill. Irregardless, it's a tragedy. I pray, they're together in a better and more peaceful place.

Yes, this was very sad, and very quick, which makes it odd, but understandable. While it's horrible to loose a child, losing one when you're older can hasten the parent's demise. My grandmother passed away right before my wedding. This was a devastating blow two my great-grandmother, who passed away the following year. This year, my mother-in-law's brother passed away, This was a blow to my father-in-law, who had been ill. he passed away 3 days later.

In recent years, mom & daughter became very close companions.

Debbie's last words were "I want to be with Carrie."
