afraid to die?
When you really think about it, the thought of dying can really freak you out, at least it does me sometimes.
I think what really bugs me out about it is the thought of being 90 years old, stuck in a nursing home waiting to die, and all my friends and family are dead... damn I'm freaking myself out right now LOL. |

Re: afraid to die?
It's gotta' be the crappy weather bringing these thoughts out. Yes, I'm with you there, except I'm going to be so messed up on psychedelic drugs, I won't know if I died or am just having a bad trip.
I'm saving up my drug use for when I'm old. I swear to God though, if I end up going in a nursing home somewhere, I'm going to be infuriated in the afterlife. I better go diving with great whites or something.

Re: afraid to die?
No kidding. Actually I work in finance for a CCRC, basically a retirment home. There are a lot of people here and they are all really happy for the most part. You would be surprise Matty how everyone here becomes your family.

I know they have a good life and it's a lot better for them than sitting at home alone. Still, being in a nursing home basically means your life is coming to an end and that's what I hate to think about. I guess when you're in that situation you can't think of it that way though. I hope when I go it's really quick, or I'm demented so I don't know what's going on. I also wonder if when you get old you come to some sort of acceptance regarding your mortality. |

YUP! I think they realize it is close and have come to closure with it. If you have lived a full life you really can't ask for more. |

Re: afraid to die?
I live my life without regrets, but honestly it's like there's never enough time in a day for me to get full use out of it.

Re: afraid to die?
I've got life insurance for my wife and the mortgage automatically gets paid off on top of that, so I am ready to go.

I guess one can only hope that when they get to that age they feel like they lead a fulfilling life. The most depressing thing in the world would have to be sitting in a nursing home and thinking about all the opportunities and experiences that you missed. And on that note, I think I need to quit my job and start driving across the country. Side note- TMC in 50 years

Re: afraid to die?
When I die, I want to go like my grandfather - quietly, in his sleep surrounded by friends.
I don't want to die like his four friends - screaming in fear as gramps drove off the cliff. (I kid, I kid)

Re: afraid to die?
I honestly don't fear death. We all have to go sometime so there is no sense worrying about it. Ideally I would like to die when I am between 75 and 80 years of age.
p.s. We can all easily be behind the wheel of this car tomorrow:

If you actually think about the possibility of non-existence, it's terrifying. Everything you've ever grown to know and love.... gone. The only thing I can say for certain is that I won't miss anything, because I'll be incapable of the feeling of "missing". I mean if someone killed you, there would be no way to be mad at them. You'd be dead.
