The 'FORCE' does exist...beyond death.

Couple married for 73 years die within five minutes of each other in separate care homes


Their son Doug said the near-simultaneous deaths are 'a blessing'

A couple have died within five minutes of each other in separate nursing homes after 73 years of marriage.

Lillian “Lill” Karr Wilson, 89, and William “Wild Bill” Wilson, 93, both suffered from Alzheimer’s and lived in two separate care homes for at least a few years before they died.

Their son Doug, 66, got two calls, five minutes apart, during the early hours of 7 April to inform him of the passing of his parents – who met in high school before marrying in 1941.

Lillian had once said – according to Kentucky.com: “I’m not going till Bill goes.”

3. Very sad that they had to "live in separate care homes for at least a few years

before they died." Maybe there was a good reason for this, but without knowing the whole story it just seems sad that they could not be together.

4. They were 'together' in ways we don't understand.

Apart physically, but united by the FORCE.

8. Ridiculous assertion

With nothing to support it. Sounds like a deepak chopra belief.

9. Dr. Phil, you're perfectly free to hold your own beliefs,

prejudices, convictions, theories, superstitions, etc. etc. etc.

Whatever bloats your boast.

10. Just pointing out

You have nothing to back up your assertion. Not sure why that's mystifying to you. Magical thinking can be harmful though, I wish you luck.
