How life has imitated art in this case, where Leia's mother in real life has passed, seemingly from a broken heart.

2016 has been a tough year.

Same thing with Leonard Cohen, he lost his Muse and died of a broken heart

This is what he wrote to her:

"Well Marianne, it’s come to this time when we are really so old and our bodies are falling apart and I think I will follow you very soon. Know that I am so close behind you that if you stretch out your hand, I think you can reach mine. And you know that I’ve always loved you for your beauty and your wisdom, but I don’t need to say anything more about that because you know all about that. But now, I just want to wish you a very good journey. Goodbye old friend. Endless love, see you down the road."

He died 3 months after writing her this letter, she died of cancer.

What a terrible year for deaths

20 car pile up on the M40 the other day as well, its not just the known, roll on 2017
