Not trying to be morbid, but I'm curious if anyone has been feeling their mortality lately. | |

It seems like that is when I start thinking that I am getting up there in age, and when will my time be. I actually bought an urn about 6 months ago. We had to get one for the FIL so I told MrsGasMan that I might as well get one for me too. Once you hit 50 and peeps start dying around you it definitely makes you think about it and getting your ducks in order.

User ID: 83111489 United States 06/17/2022 07:30 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Historically when I thought about dying it centered around the idea of being gone vs being here. But I'm older now, and lately, my thoughts are starting to get specific. Like who will be there at the moment?, how much pain will I have gone through and for how long?, who will struggle without my help?, etc. |

There is a theory which states that if ever anyone discovers exactly what the Universe is for and why it is here, it will instantly disappear and be replaced by something even more bizarre and inexplicable. There is another theory mentioned, which states that this has already happened. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 79831996 United States 06/17/2022 07:41 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | yes op, I definitely can relate.. Not scared of death but feel like its so close... The older I get the more fragile i understand life to be. especially after working a career of EMS/Fire. Im fairly young because I started my career early but it took a toll on my body and sometimes think I will just drop dead. |

(OP) Strawberry Girl User ID: 81130680 United States 06/17/2022 07:42 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I think of it more as I age. Sometimes I tend to think it might be a relief of sorts. Quoting: Garman906 I couldn't figure out how to properly explain it, but part of it is that I think I may feel relieved when it happens. That's new for me. I never thought I'd feel that way. And again, it's not that I want to die. I'm not suicidal. I've just been having new ideas about the end of life. Goodbye, halcyon days...
