What's "Normal" When it comes to Death

I've noticed that a lot of the time in old married coupled, when one of them passes away, the ofther one soon follows.  They will appear healthy then suddenly decline and their heart will give out.  A broken heart. 
Possibly it's depression, no desire the thrive, their loved one is gone, the one they spent their whole life with, their partner in crime.  Gone.
In life, we typically experiance our first loss when our grandparents pass away.    Then later we eventually lose our parents.  It is unnatural for a parent to lose a child. 

Theoden: Simbelmyne. Ever has it grown on the tombs of my forebears. Now it shall cover the grave of my son. Alas, that these evil days should be mine. The young perish and the old linger. That I should live to see that last days of my house.
Gandalf: Théodred's death was not of your making.
Theoden: No parent should have to bury their child.
Gandalf: He was strong in life. His spirit will find the way to the halls of your fathers.

Yes Gandalf, everyone says it's not my fault but I can't help but think it is.  It's not normal, my heart is broken, when do I die.
