Why is it the bigger life events seem to happen in clusters at a time?

It seems like life is cycles of working with day to day routines, than the bigger life events seem to happen in clusters like getting a new job, moving, birth of new family member, dating, weddings, loss exc. And of course they happen all in their own order it seems at times when life happens in multiple events at a time

When I look back at big events in my life, that didn't seem to be the case.

The only instance was when my mom and my wife's mom both died shortly after we got married. I was 42 and she was 39 when we got married, though, and both of our moms had been suffering from cancer for a while. So at least they got to attend our wedding.

I am so sorry for your loss, and I'm glad both of your mothers got to attend your wedding as well :)

[Lliam]

Thanks, SunnyCaliGirl. It was a long time ago. But, yeah, it was really nice they they both got to be there. It meant a lot to us and to them.

I imagine that happens when a person doesn't do a lot in their life?

Never happened to me like that.

It will be like this. I have one good thing happen to me then wait an eternity for another good thing to happen.

I know it happens to some people like that, but I don't know why it is some people and not others.

It really does seem like that. I think it is just the law if averages. Sooner or later you are bound to get two or three big life events in a row. It is so intense that you can't help but stand up and take notice.

They don't. But the mind works by trying to find "patterns" in everything.

When you get the answer please let me know. I want to know why as well.

I don’t know but it causes stress for many people
