For those that might be worried about being alone, it’s important to have a healthcare directive and you can choose a guardian that you trust before something happens. If you get dementia or become incapacitated, making decisions now, will ensure your wishes are carried out. I know of kind, professional, and compassionate guardians who cam also act as DPOA. If you need references, private message me.

I have decided not to go, so that's that problem sorted!

I do not fear death, no do I think much about it since it is inevitable. I am a practicing christian and feel I practice my faith each day in the way I live. If you live a good life and make the most of every day then there is little to be concerned with. Why worry about what you can't change...

Heaven awaits me. Read the book of John in the New Testament. I have the joy and peace from the Lord in good times and bad.

Dying isn’t the worse part of death, it’s the thinking of it, dwelling on it or fearing it. Everything ceases to matter once your are dead, accepting that has helped me put it out of my mind completely. Once it happens you will never think you got a raw deal or spend eternity regretting it.

It's a sign to love and cherish those in and around your life now. Pay extra attention to others and their lives it will give you more pleasure than you can imagine and they will remember you long after you are gone.

One thing everyone should have is a plan for their financial/digital life.

I read a story years ago where a young widow, with young children, lost her husband very suddenly. He took care of all the finances so when he died she had no idea where the money was, what bills had to be paid, etc.

From that experience she created a form for everything someone needs to know if she dies.

It doesn't need to include account numbers, but what bank the money is in, the accountants name and number, where important documents are, what bills are paid automatically online and when they are due.

Who (are at least where) the passwords are for the online accounts. (A password manager is good for this, like LastPass, and you only need to give the master password to someone you trust).

In other words, talk to whoever will be handling your affairs after your death and see what they will need to know.

Yesterday is history
Tomorrow is a mystery
Today is a gift
That's why it's called the present!

I'm not afraid of death. I just don't want to be there when it happens..........

Likewise I fear living too long.

Thinking about it is fine. Worry when you start praying for it.

I think about Jesus and his death on the cross that paid for my sin and his his words “that though a man die, still shall he live” when we know Christ as Savior 👍
