young??? why do people say that anybody who dies in their 40s and 50s as dying young? they lived half a century. dying young is like dying at 8.
Ouch my friend .
With the advances being made on an almost weekly basis in Medicine and the other Sciences dying at 40 or 50s is indeed young now.
My mum died when she was 52yrs from a CVA (stroke) and believe me she was young.
