去年八月，由于胰腺癌她失去了丈夫，几个月之后，她的母亲（我的祖母）也去世了。

She lost her husband to pancreatic cancer the August before last, and a few months later, her mother (my grandmother) passed away.

我也看到我的祖母白天出去工作一直做到她63岁时去世，独力抚养7个儿女。

I also saw my grandmother work day in day out until she passed away at 63, having also raised all of her 7 children on her own.

在美国也许会更常见，因为美国人非常“善解人意”，哪怕并不信拖拉者的借口(“我的祖母上周去世了”)，也不会责怪他们。

And there may be more of it in the U.S. than in other countries because we are so nice; we don't call people on their excuses (" my grandmother died last week ") even when we don't believe them.
