Nature can be cruel and unfair.

What rfmayo said, but also this. Some people are not comfortable with admitting they have certain diseases, or even admitting they are sick at all, publicly.

My sister died of “Natural Causes” at 42. Natural causes being a heart attack brought on from undiagnosed type 1 diabetes. Remember when Romney said people don’t just die in their bedrooms because they didn’t have health insurance? Well, my big sister did.

Cancer, aneurysm, blood clot, heart attack, stroke...

Natural causes can mean a lot of things, and unfortunately after the age of 30 we’re all more susceptible to them. It’s a bummer. She was delightful, I hope there was no suffering.

You’ve never heard of cancer?
