Why is it that people always get seriously sick in time between Thanksgiving and Christmas? In most of the country the weather is getting colder so I understand people getting the flu, colds, etc. but I am talking about illnesses that are not caused by a sudden dip in temperature.
Example: my mother is in college. It is Christmas Day and she heads out with her siblings and mother to church. Her dad stays home. The family comes home to a father, dead of a sudden heart attack.
Example: my friend’s grandmother. Just took a turn for the worse and died yesterday.
Example: my friend’s father. Had a nice Thanksgiving and then boom! Rushed to the hospital on Saturday morning with a pulmonary embolism.
So what is it? Is it stress from the holidays?
*sigh*

Oh dear...that's so sad! So much loss at such a special time of the year. I wish I had the answer for you, but I don't.
i don't have any answers for you either. unfortunately, my family has a whole "fall" thing. fortunately, it's still my favorite time of the year...but every year, for the past 8, something has happened during it.
I don't know why, either, but I'm seeing it in my own life this year, and it breaks my heart. *hugs*
