Is it normal explaining dad's death to his wife is gonna be awkward?

My dad had a heart attack during sex with two women in vegas. His wife really wants to know what happened to him and why he was in vegas. I don't wanna break her heart. She is kind of a sweet kid and a good mom to my little sister. But really fragile.I was the only one speaking to him before his death so it is falls on me.
(I feel weird calling her my stepmom , cuz I am 40 and she is 20 something.)

    So tell her he died at a casino or in his hotel room. No need to tell her every detail. Unless you feel she could handle the truth. Then you risk having to tell her how long you've known of your Father's extra-curricular activities and never shared it with her.

    On second thought...if she's a good woman she deserves to know the truth about your dad so she can forget him and find someone better.

    Since you say you're still talking to him, I take it he survived the heart attack?

    I can understand your dilemma, but this is something between the two of them. It's not your place to tell her the details. That's something she needs to talk to him about.

    Speaking as a man who's probably about the age of your father, I have to say that he sounds like a bit of a character (to put it politely). She may be fragile and not all that worldly-wise, but she'd have to be pretty damn dim not to understand that any guy who marries a woman about forty years younger than himself is something of a hound.

    Maybe she has her suspicions about what went down, and that's why she's pressing you for details. It seems to me you'd be acting reasonably if you just said you were very uncomfortable talking about what apparently happened, and this is something she needs to discuss with him.

      I have tried to tell her multiple times before and after they were married that serial monogamy isn't really his thing. It didn't seem to register. She thought everything he did was great.I think she was glad not to have to live with her dickhead parents anymore.
