Are you afraid to get old or die?!

I have just accepted that I am going to get old and die. I have accepted the fact that when I kneel down my knees are starting to pop. I have accepted the fact that even at a young age I have arthritis in my ankle (due to an old injury). I have accepted the fact that once in a while I will catch myself let out an "old" sigh when I bend down to pick something up.
I have also accepted the fact that I can start to watch my nephews grow into adults, my son, grow into a "big boy" and my cousins to start their own families. I have accepted the fact that my husband and I will soon be able to spend a little more alone time, as our son begins his overnight outings with his friends. Family (mainly my parents) will start asking the teenagers/young adults to move heavy things, run errands, download the virus protection, and program cell phone numbers in.
With old age comes great wisdom. We all will get old, but you have to look at the positive things in life. I too am afraid of loved ones dying, but I have to continue to focus on what old age can bring rather than what it will take away. With everything, there will be give and take which one of those you focus on will determines your happiness.

i'm not so much afraid of me dying, well i am. but i'm more afraid of my loved ones dying. there have been some nights where i cry a lot about it. i even cry when i see animals dying. what i do is try to not think about it. so all i can tell you is to, try to not think about it. maybe you should talk to a therapist about this. everything and everyone do die eventually. yes, it's hard to cope with that and accept it. it's really hard to stop thinking about it once you do think about it. i hate death. there's nothing i can do to stop it, so i just don't think about it, or it will hurt even more.Health Question & Answer
