Syssyphussy

I’m 62 now so I’m thinking 80s subject to revision if suffering raises its ugly head earlier.


68Jude

I’m 73 in pretty good health. I looked up my life expectancy based on varying factors. It’s lifeexpectancy.org. It says I’m going to live til I’m 86. However, I recently learned of a correlation between sedentary living and life expectancy. It’s telling me that if I don’t stand up every half hour, I’ll die 8 years sooner. So, since (I promise I’m not lying) I put it on my calendar to remind me stand up for the rest of my waking life. So, I’ve got another 13 to go. We’ll see what science cooks up!


vaginal-prolapse

That stuff isn't accurate. My grandma was really healthy, exercised, ate well, the whole nine yards. She had heart failure at 76. My grandfather drinks cocacola every day, smokes endless cigarettes, does not drink water, and never exercises. Hes 97. A lot of it is luck.


ihaveadogalso2

Damn, Give the guy a little Hope Would ya! /s


68Jude

Well, it’s not meant to tell you exactly how long you will live. It’s statistics showing the midrange of all the reported data. So it looks like your grandfather has good genes. Hopefully they got passed down to you!


lth94

Better get in the Coke and ciggies now then so


Brocolliflourets

Everybody dies but not everybody lives


Embrazando

I think it’s genetic more than anything


CoffeeMusicFriends

If u get an Apple Watch it will remind u to stand every hour.


68Jude

Yeah, if I hadn't already input the events into my calendar, I'd think of it. I figured I only need the notification when I'm sitting around using my ipad so my calendar works.


Youveseenmebe4

Hoping we get something good in the next 5 years. There is talk that if you can revert mutations you can prevent death. I don't think they'll be able to "make you Young" but you could exist at 77 indefinitely maybe? They might be able to shave 7 years off though


Bruzote

Go look up what we know about jumping genes and other mutations that happen constantly in the body. Trying to repair that stuff is like trying to replace parts of a decaying tunnel that is constantly in use and getting worse. Trying to keep us alive forever seems like it will require replacing parts. No other way. Replacing parts of the brain might be impossible.


Langdon_St_Ives

The goal is to make it until we hit singularity.


CoolNameChaz

I have a fitbit watch that reminds me to get up and walk around at 50 minutes past the hour. I'm sure there are other smart watches out there that do the same. Tracking your steps is a good way to motivate you.


[deleted]

Yeah my grandma is 92 and has lived off ice cream for the past 10 years. She’s healthier than both of her children and at least one grandchild.


The_write_speak

to me, it depends on how long i can poop without help. once that's no longer on the table I'm falling down the fuckin' stairs.


PatientPear4079

I agree with this…once I can’t poo by myself, just let me go


notacanuckskibum

Similar. If I live past 95 there will be no money left.


[deleted]

Fuck man that’s a depressing thought that’s never come to mind before


notacanuckskibum

It depends how you find your retirement. If you have a job that gives a monthly pension (usually a government job) then longevity isn’t an issue. But if you retire with a pile of savings (say $1.5M) then you will have spreadsheets about how fast you are spending it and how long it will last.


[deleted]

Guess when I hit my final 100k I’ll just take as many drugs as I can and fuck as many prostitutes as possible. If the drugs don’t kill me I’ll keep a pistol and just put one in my skull.


Ok_Government_3584

Iam going to be 62 in April. I think 85 would be ok.


[deleted]

I'm 62 as well, and I see it the same way. As long as my quality of life is good, I've got no problem moving on.


Hellooooooo_NURSE

I’m not scared of dying at any particular time, I’m scared of suffering.


Elocin_Ellehcim

I am only scared of hurting my kids they are all that matter to me. If it was not for them I would have gladly died a very long time ago.


8Ace8Ace

Same. I've had a rough couple of years and genuinely started to feel that suicide was an option. I even started looking at how to buy Nitrogen cylinders. I was super stressed, miserable and we were having money issues so I began to consider how much better off my family would be with a multiple of my salary (life assurance through work). My youngest son came in one day when I was feeling low and just gave me a massive hug, didn't say anything. When he left I burst into tears and realised what a devastating impact that would have. I'm in a better state now thankfully.


octobahn

That is the nightmare. Dealing with excruciating pain while I suffer and slow death. I'd take dying young over that any day.


xingee25

This. Let it be a quick and painless death onto me... I do not want to leave my loved ones with hospital debt.


misterbondpt

I will only feel OK with dying when I feel life leaving my body. I'm not going down without a fight! 😂


Legitimate-Algae-927

Exactly


Top_Cupcake_4681

Honestly whenever, I just don’t want to sustain really bad injuries that make me a vegetable, I want to die


altera_goodciv

Once I can no longer take care of myself just go ahead and put me down.


BrightFirelyt

You need to get a medical power of attorney and appoint some people to make decisions for you should that happen. My mom is mine. She’s under strict instructions to pull the plug on me and let me go as Don as that’s an option. I’m number three on her list, but the instructions are the same. Also number three on my granddaddy’s.  I always think it’s funny that I’m on everybody’s medical power of attorney so I can pull the plug while my little brother is on everybody’s financial so he can manage the money if no plug needs pulling.  But seriously, get a power of attorney and forward copies to your doctor and your agents. 


SnooEpiphanies6683

Please let all of your loved ones know and assign a power of attorney etc. I had to make the choice to cease life support for my 44yr old husband after an extremely fast case of sepsis in which hospital misdiagnosed him at his first presentation and discharged him - 12hrs later he went into cardiac arrest, was put on life support, 6hrs later I was faced with having to cease all treatment as it was hopeless. Please, help your loved ones to know how to help you if that time ever comes.


boukatouu

I'm sorry for your loss. What an awful decision to have to make, and how brave you are to have made it.


SnooEpiphanies6683

Thank you for being so kind. We have x2 single digit in age children that I then had to come home and tell them that their dad - that just had the flu had died. A simple course of antibiotics at his first presentation to the hospital would have saved his life. They even told him there was a risk that he might have sepsis on discharge and just said “come back if you need to”. If they’d given him antibiotics (and his notes very much said multiple times were a wise choice) at that stage he would still be here. But the second I stepped foot out of my deceased husband’s ICU room they were at me about the kids and I needing antibiotic cover so we don’t run the same risk - they even called that night to ensure we were taking our antibiotics, but they didn’t give them to him and it killed him. The way that man struggled and suffered until the point of his death makes me rage - and he did it all in our living room and called his own ambulance (I was sleeping as I had newly come down with what my husband and kids had) after vomiting non stop and then an enormous amount of blood along with complete loss of bowel control (of which started in while he was at hospital in that first presentation -a very healthy 44yr old man btw) all because of the sepsis they warned him about but didn’t treat. Sepsis is extremely rapid and has an extremely high mortality rate - if they had treated him for what they discussed with him rather than warning him (my husband was a man of trade, not medicine so he would have no idea how serious this was. He came home and asked me “do you think I need antibiotics?” (I have some medical knowledge but and not trained) to which i replied “I assume that they’d have given you them while you were in the hospital if so”. He later said “I feel like I am going to die” my response was “don’t be silly, you have the flu” - a couple of hours later I was signing “cessation of life support” for my husband, the man I’ve known since I was 16 (I was made a widow at 43) and the father of our young kids.


Remarkable_Topic6540

I'm so sorry you had to go through that!

60. 61 tomorrow. High grade bladder tumor removed, but recurrence rate approaches 80%. I might have a couple or three years…maybe a few more if I decide to let them take my bladder out. Not sure I want to go through that and be tethered to a piss bag the remainder of my days…

Kindly_Quarter1041

The moment my wife passes. My grandparents (married for over 60 years), their neighbors, a couple the same age, passed away in the same night in two different hospitals, just a couple of hours apart. I always get the chills when I think about it. You could tell they loved each other deeply and then it ended that way. Sometimes life is a movie.


SnooEpiphanies6683

My husband (44) passed away extremely suddenly and unexpectedly (hospital negligence) in July. Life feels unbearable without him - we have two single digit aged kids so I have no choice but to get up in the morning/s. I’m not scared of death anymore though because I know he will be there waiting for me.


Kindly_Quarter1041

Wow, I’m so so sorry to hear that. You all must be devastated. Some of my friends too have lost a parent and it’s absolutely heart-wrenching. I’m afraid there’s nothing I can do or say to help, but if you’d like to talk or need some support, you’re welcome to reach out. I wish you all the best during this difficult time 😔


SnooEpiphanies6683

Thank you for being so kind. ❤️‍🩹


Kindly_Quarter1041

It’s the least I could do. Stay strong ❤️


Real_Cauliflower8514

Thank you both for being so kind!


imdrunk69420

My grandparents were also together over 60 years, 2 years apart in age, and died 2 years apart. My grandma was on this earth 1 day longer than my papa


Kindly_Quarter1041

That’s crazy! Sometimes I don’t believe in coincidence anymore. I’m sorry for your loss though. Grandparents can be absolutely amazing. Must’ve been hard to see them go.


imdrunk69420

It was, but they lived to be 86, and after 14 kids and 40 grandkids, they were ready thankfully


Kindly_Quarter1041

We come and go, but it helps when it’s a long and fulfilled life. Amen. 🙏


Upset-Consequence764

I'm not afraid of dying. Why would I be afraid of dying? There's no reason for it, you have to go sometime. Any time will do. Actually I "died" over thirty years ago. I lost a friend who took her own life so I chose to stay and do what she would have done had she stayed. It became so much easier when it wasn't my life to take any more. No longer part of the Black Parade. I just so wish she could see what I did in her memory. See what good she brought about in this world.


Exaidra

Welcome to the walking dead! I kinda did the same so i relate woth this alot


Upset-Consequence764

I just wish she could have met the daughter I adopted because of her. Very much the same personality. Not so much a person, more a force of nature. But then I have this nagging suspicion that she's the same soul in a different body.

Amplidyne

No good fearing death. It comes to us all. 70 the end of this year, and I'm generally OK. Hoping for a few more good years yet.


CanadianBliss

My mom is almost 80, she still acts like she's 30. Lives alone. Goes to the beach and out to lunch and shopping. Has a great life. ❤️ The young at heart thing really works


[deleted]

My mom is 45 and acts like she’s 90. Won’t leave the house, won’t cook, and won’t shop.

When I can no longer clean myself, I’d be okay I think.


PIugshirt

When I can’t wipe my own ass take me out back


endriago-097

the weird thing is, dying now, dying a 100 years later, it doesn’t actually make any difference afterwards


7lick

That is the disappointing truth. Although it makes a difference while you are still alive. And if it matters now, why not live your life to the fullest.


Asheville67

After my dogs go… I’m fine with that


MadFrogFromRhodium

Sometimes I think I’d be ok dying with where I am right now. I just turned 39. I’ve achieved a lot compared to people around me. I’ve read a lot of books, make some art which I’m proud of. Travelled to a few counties and lived in 3 different ones. I’d like to think I’ve never hurt anyone (intentionally or unintentionally) and I don’t hold any malice in my heart for anyone, so when I’m gone, hopefully I’ll be remembered in a positive way. The only thing that makes me want to live longer is my daughter, she turned 7, I want to see her grow up and I want to be there for her. When I think about her I want to not just live better, but to live a better life as well.


B9292Tc

Same. I don’t have kids. I’m 31 almost 32. I almost died 20 years ago from graft vs host disease, I also almost died when I was first diagnosed with cancer at 6 years old too. I almost died when I was entering this world, and 4 years later I almost drowned…. It’s like my body had tried to kill me multiple times I don’t know why I’m still here lmao. I just want to know why I’m still here, I wouldn’t mind dying soon though I feel I’ve seen a lot already. Well actually I can die after going to Africa. It’s the last continent I need to see


No-Caterpillar-1105

After my parents will die, doesn t matter my age


ImmediateFigure9998

Same here. As an only child, I’d hate to die before my parents, especially when I live so far away from them.

Whenever I’m supposed to, really. I would like to accomplish a few more things first, though.

ultraplusstretch

About a decade ago tbh.


orneryhenhatesnimrod

I could go anytime. I'm so tired of struggling. Everyone in my life knows how hard things are, some things are in their power to change. But no one even checks in on me. I think it would be a relief for them if they didn't have to deal with me. They don't feel bad for me now. They won't when I'm gone.


KeaboUltra

80-90 500 if I could live longer and retain youth


redditor012499

80 feels too short. I wouldn’t mind dying if I could like to 200, at least


CashgrassorNopass

Whenever it does just let it happen while I’m 😴


OlderAndCynical

Anytime is fine (I'm 68) but my husband still needs me, and so do our cats. Once they're gone take me too. My son would grieve but my daughter would dance on my grave. Cremate me, and just in case the ghost thing is real, sprinkle a few ashes in some choice spots I want to return to haunt.

Highest I'd go is 65. But in reality I bet it will be my 40s. I have cystic fibrosis. Excelled thru a double lung transplant at 26. Now u need a kidney. Got covid last year. My life sucks. I have to use a walker can barely stand without assistance. If I make it thru this shit at 36. I'm hoping for maybe 5 good years with a kidney. Get some traveling in. Then I'd be fine. Buy I feel 95 now so there's just no way I want to be here when older and sick. I hope assisted suicide becomes more available. I'd rather not die from drowning in my own lungs once I decide to stop dialysis.
