Most of those deaths only had 2-3 years of life remaining anyway; the children are still going to see them die. A child's not going to be particularly traumatized seeing someone old die at age 81 instead of 83; people dying in old age is part of the human condition. People have to be really sheltered to consider someone dying in their 80s a tragedy; for most of humanity's existence even surviving to 80 was considered a great achievement worthy of celebration.
