>>30586286I can relate very much to your story too. I'm living in a different city than my parents. Each time I see them I feel a bit uneasy because of that. My dad is 70, and I'm completely aware that he will leave us pretty soon. But we can't do anything about it. Death is an immutable part of life and we have no choice but to accept it when it comes.
As for myself, I fear most the death of the people I love than my own death. The reason I don't want to live beyond 40 years is this. I don't think I'll be strong enough to see my friends and family dying.
Anyways, people change and adapt. It's the way of nature.
We are afraid of it because we think of it as an instant process when, instead, is a slow and steady one.
