I've done this, it sucks, none of the men on my dad''s side of the family lived to enjoy much of their retirement years and I'm prepared for whatever comes but I live for today, pretty much do what I want, we travel a lot, don't skimp on anything, buy whatever we want and just try to enjoy it while we can

Get yo shite in order make it easier on who has to take care of things. Passwords, account numbers and things like that. Have a will drawn up even if you're in your 40's if you have kids and assets.
Imma 73 my wife is 75, get your heart right and realize you'll be in a better place. It's inevitable so thank God erry day you wake up on the right side of the dirt

People have been trying to kill me my entire adult life. I’ve survived it all, and now that that life is behind me, I just know I’m getting taken out by something silly.

trying to do just that, my daughter is the most level headed of the three kids, I'm constantly giving her instructions on how I'd like things handled in the event of a sudden demise, and worse, if both the wife and I go at once, I think she'll carry out my wishes, I do have an appointment to update my will, she knows where all of the passwords are, and the retirement accounts

Lost my son at the age of 20. For a period of time I thought about ending it myself. Then I went through another period where I didn’t want to do that but I didn’t really care if anything happened to me. I have 2 step daughters that are my world now. Then recently I had part of my kidney removed because they found a tumor. Luckily they found it early and got it all. But it was an eye opener that I am not ready to go and still have family to live for. I thought I didn’t care until they said the word cancer. Changed perspective real quick.

I'm 83 and healthy. But I'm aware.
My Mom died at 94, my Dad 80. I had a sister who lived to over 90. A brother who made 88. Another sister who is 89. She will be 90, Aug 1, and I will be 84, Aug 3. We are the last two of eight children.
So yeah, I am conscious the end is near.
About ten years ago I was diagnosed with Prostate Cancer. The Dr asked me how I felt about the situation.
I told him, I realize the gravity of my health status. I'm not ready to die, But.
I have enjoyed a wonderful life. I married a lady that was my dream. I've lived long enough to enjoy my children and Grand Children.
I would hate to leave my wife and family because we have been so close.
What else is there to life.
But, we all know we don't have a choice.

First time situationally at 25 when I went on my first deployment.
After that when I started losing friends and coworkers that were in their late 30's / early 40's from health issues.
I'm 50 now and am starting to feel the anxiety of time slipping away.

I was 39 and diagnosed with end stage liver disease. I was able to get a transplant, which has given me an extra six years so far. One day though, it will fail and that will be the end of me. I'm OK with it, whenever that day comes.

The absolutism of death is terrifying

I lost two children in 2021. A 20 year old son and a 26 year old daughter. They died 2 months apart. I thank God every day for the son and daughter that I still have as well as my granddaughter. I think about death a lot. Not afraid to die. Don't have a death wish, just no longer scared of it. I learned that when it's your time, it's your time. Enjoy your time here with the ones you love.

Death knocked on my door with a heart issue in 2022. He basically said I will get you next time. Watch your back!
Happy, healthy, living life!

11 years old. My sister who was one year older than me was killed in an accident. We were very close ever since then I have been fully aware that it can happen to anyone at any time. I try to live my life, not consumed with this world, but in preparation for the next.

Friend of mine just found out his wife, 41, has stage 4 colon cancer. They have 5 young children. Been throwing me for a loop the last couple of days. I've had a couple episodes of pretty serious health anxiety the last 8 years or so and trying not to let this send me down that path.

Probably in my early 20's when unbeknownst to me the coke was PURE! I literally thought I was going to have a massive heart attack! I swore never again and I got home that night and a few people came over and I did it again! I went in my bedroom and told a "friend" to call an ambulance because I was dying and I vividly remember him closing the door to my bedroom and 10 seconds later I heard my stereo crank up! Friends, grrrrrr but I'm glad he didn't make that call! Never touched it since. It was about 45 years ago but now I swear if they could invent Stroke/Heart proof coke, I'd do it ASAP because I can't drive more than 5-7 hours without getting extremely tired! Instead of war on drugs why not change the chemical structure to give people what they want!
