same here, im about the same age as you and parents are also about 60ish. i keep looking at the average life span in western countries and counting how many years do they have left. i dont know how i would react. i would gladly kill myself but then i would cause more pain to the rest of the family (sometimes i wish they would either not die or all die at the same time so i could kill myself afterwards without causing more pain to anyone). zero chance i'd be able to go to work again for at least a few years. so probably i'd just pack a few things into my van and drive off to the wilderness and stay there on my own until my wounds have healed.

i mean there is no way i could go back to work. at my job i have to deal with people all the time and i know i would just lose my composure.. people expect you to grief and then move on within a certain time frame, and i just know for myself it would take years.. or more. and i already have depression and generally feel pretty shitty about life. if one of them suddenly die, i would just sink to the bottom of existence. i would lose it completely . and the wilderness would be the only place for me then.

...someone who lost both his parents in his early/mid twenties, alongside two aunts and an uncle, I can tell you that I never wish upon you the pain of such loss. Yes, death is inevitable, and life also goes on, but do yourself a favour and enjoy every moment you can with them with as much laughter, tears, and joy as possible before it's too late...

Wat takes famly God and you wish to Befor your perints in My colter your not to die Befor your kids I lost My perints 8 months apart 16 years ago and it still just seems like yesterday and alot of other famly memmbers" life is shorte as it is I had bin thruw alot and having kids of My own had to make fast changes good days or bad neasess and nephyous brothers sisters pante Me a pic of your life 30 years you got right well you better start getting sum help know ASAP.

It's not that I'm incapable of being on my own, it's just that I'm so used to them being there if I do need to ask questions or get a hand with something. Plus, now that we're all adults they double as not only parents but some of my best friends, so it's like a double whammy now cause it's not just losing mum & dad, it's losing your parents & your friends. I pray that the day never comes, despite knowing eventually, hopefully many many years from now, it will.

Sure people die young and all, but even if you live a full normal length life, you're guaranteeing that your children are going to be only in their 40s or younger when you die.

I really cant relate I moved out as a teenager and so did most of the people I know.
