One of the most unusual causes of death I’ve seen on a death certificate:
“Acute mania (10 days). Exhaustion from mental excitement.”
This was a 41-year old farmer with a wife & six kids…in 1932. The stressors must have overwhelmed him. 💔
His widow remarried 14 months later to a distant cousin of my husband. Together they raised her kids & by 1940 they’d had 3 of their own. Hope they had a happy life.
Take care of yourselves & each other, build resilience, ask for help when needed. 💞
