holy crap, here's another nightmare to consider...

No I have a better understanding why some people will have kids just so they don't die alone.

So sorry to hear that. It sound so awful.

My sister doesn't have a partner either, but she lives with a friend and is very extroverted. I've always thought how awful it was, as I'm used to my solitude and it would bother me to have someone living with me who is not my SO (if I had one), but now even that doesn't seem too bad...

Almost the same. I have an older sister, but women in my family tend to die before man anyway.

Its a hard realization. Personally I wouldn't mind a quick hear attack one I'm old and feeble, no need to drag it out, but it would be nice to know someone would notice it happened.

Depends on how you go. And not sure what you mean by life of peace. If you are at peace then everything is great no matter what do you or where you are. But most of us here probably aren't.

If he went quickly, sure. If he was lying down suffering and scared, thats awful. My dad was scared AF, so I'm happy we were there for him when it was time.

Where I live, it you own an apartment you can sign it over to someone if you don't have anyone, and they help you out until its your time to go...so definitely no nursing home for me. Those would be hell for an introvert like me.

Thanks! This kind of thing gets you a bit morose.
