Carter devoted herself to several social causes in the course of her public life, including programs that supported health care resources, human rights, social justice and the needs of elderly people.
I knew a girl whose father died a week after her mother’s body was found (they don’t know how long her mother had been dead, but at least a week) and they were divorced. But he never gave up hope until she died. And this was in high school. Imagine losing both of your parents within a week and you’re still a teenager.
On one side my grandfather died roughly 6 months after my grandmother died. On the other side my grandmother outlived my grandfather by 33 years and counting.
I learned it in Hassan Zadeh A. and Amirhashchi S., “Modelling Joint Lifetimes of Couples by Using Bivariate Phase-type Distributions”, that paper should be easily to find in Arvix. The referenced paper, “Young, the mortality of widowers 1963, Lancet”, it’s pretty hard to find but I got my university to pay for a copy for me, if you DM me your email I can send you a copy.
"Broken heart syndrome is a condition that can cause rapid and reversive heart muscle weakness, also known as stress cardiomyopathy.
What causes broken heart syndrome?
Two kinds of stress — emotional or physical — often cause broken heart syndrome. But while most people with this condition experience a stressful event, up to 30% of patients have no identifiable trigger at the time of their initial symptoms.
They’re statistics and actuarial sciences papers, not medical ones. They are not bussy looking for the underlining reasons of why that happens, bit how can be measured to make better models.
I remember reading a paper about how the death of your spouse raises the probability of death by 30%, but it goes back to normal after 6 months.
I knew a girl whose father died a week after her mother’s body was found (they don’t know how long her mother had been dead, but at least a week) and they were divorced. But he never gave up hope until she died. And this was in high school. Imagine losing both of your parents within a week and you’re still a teenager.
Thankfully, she turned out okay.
On one side my grandfather died roughly 6 months after my grandmother died. On the other side my grandmother outlived my grandfather by 33 years and counting.
How old was each one when their partner died? Getting a 30% rise on probability of death at 50 is not the same as at 80.
Any potential link to that article? I don’t disbelieve you, I just want to be able to discuss the information in the future with confidence.

That’s a very kind offer, but based off the title alone, I don’t think I’d be able to understand anything beyond the abstract.
What’s the causal factor for the increased mortality rate? I hear it’s “a broken heart” but that isn’t really a medical diagnosis.
It is called “broken heart syndrome”.
