was it a year?

There has been another year, and two deaths are still with me.

My mother passed away June 14, 2019, and my Lynn of 32 years passed away July 13, 2019. The grief is ongoing.
Even before those two deaths were others: an aunt and an uncle, one per year, almost exactly a year apart.
The aunt was in 2017, the uncle in 2018. 
I guess, as you get older and see the succession of deaths, you start to see patterns of occurrence and coincidence of things and dates.
How many passed in July, how many in June, in August, and so forth.
My dad's father passed February 28-March 2, 1976 
My mom's mother passed July 4, 1985
My mom's father passed March 10, 1988
My brother Tim passed June 1995
Lynn's father, Dr. Maurice Friedman in March, 1996
My grandmother, dad's mother passed July, 1998
My dad passed September 2, 1998

In 2003, my uncle (by marriage)f Sam, my aunt Carol's husband, passed
