You can absolutely love someone with a chronic condition and have a rapid deterioration be sudden and unexpected. You had so many days or even weeks of upswings, that you really thought full recovery was possible. And you also had so many scares... And then the final dive is so fast, so much quicker and deeper than any previous event, and you realize in retrospect how shallow those earlier scares were to the sudden finality of dying. And then they're dead.
You're right. I was coming from a place of macabre humor in that, this died suddenly with an ongoing health condition is different than the current died suddenly with the "healthy as an ox" people.
It can't be both.
Yes it can??? Have you never... What???

You can always tell the people who have never had someone close to them die. They're young, they'll learn.
