Do you worry about dying and know one noticing?

Question

My grandparents recently died, they had 3 kids and a number of brothers and sisters who all visited regularly when they were in hospital basically on their last legs. With me there's just me and my sister, as yet no wife, no kids ....... does it worry you that in your old age, you'll live alone, die and knowone will care / notice?

Answer 1

I know what you mean, but I'm here to assure you that NO one is ever alone.

Even if you were the last man on earth, yet you wouldn't be alone.

God is by our side all the time, he never sleeps nor takes his eyes off us.

Don't worry about been alone, no matter how old you are, have no friends or where you live. You have God. Is it enough for you?

God will put someone in your life soon.

Take care my friend.

Answer 2

Not really.. Some people die in accidents etc so even if they have tonnes of friends and family no one can really be around them during death then.

For me it is just about having people around me when I am alive. I wouldn't care too much about dying alone.. :)

I think if we treat others right then there will always be someone who remembers us.

Answer 3

As long as I stay with my husband and kids, there will be at least five people at my funeral.

I'd like to say when I was at the hospital a few years ago, and they called my two "emergency contacts" coz I had a severe allergic reaction to iodine, one was my mother who I just put down coz they said I must have two...and SHE came too. Not my dad. He was too "anxious." Even though my husband and mother weren't told on the phone WHAT happened, just that they needed to come to the hospital! That tells me my mother might come to my funeral too. She showed up to see me die. (Or when she thought I was dying, LOL.)  

Answer 4

Yes but i worry about it because it happens.  Some cases quicker than others.

Answer 5

No, I don't worry about that. I think I have a great family and many friends that would never let that happen. Life is what you make of it. I think it is up to you if you choose to die alone and know one would care. Get out there and meet people.

Answer 6

Not really. Me and my daughters are very close. They get in touch, one way or another, almost every day.

Don't worry. You will be missed. The future could hold many good experiences and relationships for you.

Answer 7

I can totally understand! But I really wouldn't worry about it! Somethings bound to happen in your life; no one will forget you!

Answer 8

No not really, I have a lovely husband who will miss me dearly and my children love me so much that I know I will have the people I love around me when it's my turn.

All these things will come in time for you, if it's what you want. If not you've always got your sister eh?

Answer 9

your right !

Answer 10

Yes.

fortunately, something like that does not happen often in my culture. Family is something really important to us, and I have so many relatives, I know my future nieces and nephews will be there for me, my brother will be there, and my cousins, and their kids too (even though they aren't born yet). But if I didn't have them at all, yes, I would be sad to have no one with me, who cares about me.

I think because of this reason, it is important for us to consider respecting  our elders (the ones we know and don't know). A lot of people in my college, and in high school or older, make fun or do not acknowledge old people. They make jokes about diapers and whatever, but they don't think about that's gonna be them someday in the future (having someone wipe their butt (if that person even wants too!) and changing their Diapers and whatever).

Did you know a lot of old people commit suicide because they are alone?! it's sad....

Answer 11

Sometimes I feel like no one would notice or care if I left then other times, someone will notice. I have 4 kids and my parents are still around so hopefully they will notice, if not then a close friend who I have been in contact with weekly over my whole life will notice.

Answer 12

yeah i do...but deep down a know someone will notice at least...except my dad, he doesn't care about anyone but himself

Answer 13

No because if you treat people correctly and put a lot into a relationship with your family then you won't be alone, because they will all love you and want to be around you.
