5. Losing any loved one
A year after my mom died, my dad, on the very day he signed the papers to sell the house they had shared, dropped dead of a heart attack. He was healthy and had never had heart problems.

Science has already shown that severe depression can lead to heart attacks. I don't want to have to google the links to the science but it's not hard to find.

A broken heart, can break your heart. Your resistance and immune system are affected, brain chemicals, hormones, the whole works. Grief/depression...not good for you.
