Eternal love

Every so often, I read stories like the one about Helen and Les Brown: they died a day apart. Born on the same day, married 75 years, friends and lovers for life; now they enjoy eternal life – together.

Can one die of a broken heart? Or wait until one’s love dies and then simply give in to what illness or weakness one fought? Doctors can’t always explain these events of the heart. See story.
