On my first family, when the husband passed away, I was so sad that I had to go to a new generation. I almost cried (my husband was sitting behind me thinking I was a bit nutty) I think as time goes on, each generation it gets easier to accept when someone passes away. My second family, just yesterday, the wife passed away leaving her husband and 15 year old son in the house. the kid went to college a few years before dad passed away, so he was alone in the house when he died. That was sad to see
