[The study] found that a person’s heart attack risk is 21 times higher than normal the day after a loved one dies. Over time the risk of an attack declines, but it remains elevated within that first month. In the first week after a loved one’s death, for example, the risk was six times higher than normal.

I can see that. I mean, I wouldn't have focused on heart attacks, but I suppose there are few things more traumatic than losing someone you love. Hell, just losing a cat really takes it out of me. Just getting defriended by a blogging friend can be pretty devastating. In the event of Pop's death, I don't know if I will suffer a heart attack, but the end for me may be very near.
