My best friend in high school lost both her parents while she was in college, first her father of a completely out of the blue heart attack and then her mother, who had been frail and sickly since birth and was never expected to reach adulthood. Bewildered doesn't even begin to cover her mental state at the time of her father's death. He was bringing in groceries and then he was gone. She said once that she finally knew how I felt, but really it was so different from what my dad went through. We spent some time discussing which is worse, fast or slow and degenerative. We found there's a strong argument in either direction.
