Jesus Christ, how old are you guys? 60? If you're between 25-40 like I assume most of CE is, that's way too young to have so many dead family members.

I am 37, I would say early to mid 30s is about the time a lot of people start losing grandparents depending on how old they were when they had your parents and how old your parents were when they had you.

Lost both sets of grand parents (3 out of 4 were when I was an adult and 2 of them were right before covid and about a year into it)
1 set of Great grandparents that were still alive until I was around 20
1 Great aunt who the family had stopped talking to about 5 years ago
An uncle about a year and a half before Covid, days before Christmas
and recently 2 cousins who were both younger than me, one to suicide and one to cancer.

That is not counting other relatives I never met, because I know both of my grandmother's sisters died not long after her. Also an uncle when he got hit by a car but that was even before my dad was born that we all knew about but never really talked about. My mom is 1 of 7 children so I can imagine there will be some more over the next 10 - 15 years because a few of them or their spouses have health problems that I can see catching up with them.
