Photos: Husband Dies of a Broken Heart Weeks After Losing Wife He Met When He Was 5-year-old

A loving husband has died of a ‘broken heart’ after seeing the love of his life pass away just weeks earlier.

Nev Wild was left devastated after seeing his wife of 48 years Gillian die of breast cancer.

The devoted 69-year-old husband from Derby was not thought to have any health conditions, but after losing his beloved partner, Nev died just six weeks later from a heart aneurysm.

42-year-old Daughter Cathy Stoneystreet, said:
"After we lost mum, dad was getting on quite well, even though we all knew how much he missed her though.He'd only left her in peace for six weeks and then he left us and went to be with her. I'm sure mum was cursing him in heaven when he arrive so soon after her." The devoted couple first met when they were just five as Gillian lived close to Nev's cousins in Ropley but as soon they were old enough the couple went on their first date to the cinema.

They later married and Nev went on to become a mechanic while Gillian looked after the three children they had

Sadly Gillian, also 69, lost her fight for life on Sunday, March 15, after a short battle with breast cancer.

And then just six weeks later, on Monday, April 27, Nev died from an aneurysm of the heart.
Cathy said: "We're all going to miss him very much but it does give us some comfort to know that mum and dad are together.

"They never did anything without one another so I'm glad that they're together again now."
