A Sudden Loss Could Mean Worse Health for You

If your brother or sister dies, it is not only a very sad occasion, but it also affects your health, according to a new health study. Researchers found that after a sibling dies, your risk of dying from a heart attack may increase.

What happens is that the body’s coping mechanisms for this stressful event may actually trigger a heart attack, known clinically as a myocardial infarction. The results show that this is more likely to happen if you’ve been mourning the loss for an extended period of time, such as many years in a row.
