I'll add my story to this thread, I guess--
Last year during winter finals (just before Christmas) my grandma on my mom's side died.
This New Year's Day, my cousin (22 years old) on my mom's side died of a rare genetic heart defect.
...Three months after getting married to her high school sweetheart.
...Oh, and this rare genetic heart defect? It's the same thing that killed my cousin's mother 18 months after giving birth to this cousin and her twin sister.
The twin, thankfully, appears to be free of the heart problem (they were paternal twins, not identical), but that family has had more than its share of heartbreaks.
The visitation is today, but the weather isn't cooperating, so I'm not sure I'm going to be able to get there.
