Alternatively, it's a puberty or maturity metaphor of some kind. I don't know if it's intentionally written that way, but one could see Nick dealing with his aunt's terminal illness as a catalyst for introspection and thus maturity. Since the death of a parental figure came at an older age (compared to his actual parents' 'deaths') it could be said that he was actually processing things in a more measured way.
Or I am thinking far too deeply about this.
