My grandpa died in 2006 and my grandma was never the same. Slowly deteriorating mentally and physically, she didn't seem to have as much of a will to live her life anymore. She died a few hours ago

One of my great grandmothers outlived my great grandfather by 20 years, lived by herself and was always happy. She died a week before she turned 90.
Now looking at my grandmother, I'm not sure if she would be as resilient if my grandfather goes first, they're much more dependent on one another.

It depends on the person. There are those that are able to move on, and those that are "ol' Dan/little Ann"

Dad passed in 92. We could tell my mother was going down fast. She started hoarding, not bathing, and getting socially inappropriate. I saw the writing on the wall and started doing my homework on nursing homes. Dementia and depression got so bad I eventually had to put her in one. It was the only way I could maintain her safely.

My grandpa lost it after my grandma passed. He lasted two more years, but he was a totally different person.
