My grandfather died of a broken heart six weeks after my grandmother. He had not expected to live without her

My wife’s whole family comes from Whitehaven, a small, sleepy port city on the northernmost reach of the west coast of England.

Not long after our brother Craig died, my aunt and I were standing in the kitchen, drinking champagne.

Look! Dick and Jane are old. Dick's body is failing. Jane's mind is fading. See their middle aged son take them out to dinner. See him run!
