Are people really scared to die alone?

I understand it on a basic human level I guess. It seems like throughout my life I’ve heard I don’t want to die alone umpteen times. Really though who gives a ■■■■ you’re dying. I guess I don’t share that primal fear.

I don’t care if I die alone. I just don’t want to die in my sleep. I want to see death coming.

Is this another saying similar to don’t cry over spilled milk? I’m not getting this one.

Most people experience coma before death that happened to all my grandmothers so technically they died in their sleep. Only my grandfathers had heart attacks so the death was kind of instant

I’ve faced death so many times that I’m not even scared of it. I’m not scared to die and I don’t fret over what’s next. I already know what’s next.

I’ve never been scared of death either. I’ve faced it enough. I won’t pretend I know what’s next, but I won’t mind getting there.

I love my life. I’m not sure I would trade my life for anything. I accept and take on any challenge of mortality. That includes death however it might come. I have firm faith in what will happen next. It will be a blissful paradise. With that said I’m in no hurry to die. I’m trying to live as long as possible by eating healthy, exercising and quitting smoking. If you don’t try to live as long as possible you’re cheating yourself out of an experience that’s once in an eternity.

I don’t know about the actual dying alone. I think most people are afraid of living alone up until their death. Like some old man or woman with no family or friends. I think the phrase “I’m afraid of dying alone” includes the living alone until death thing. I’m not super afraid of death but I would prefer not to live alone without anyone around me after my parents die. I do have a sister and nieces and a nephew but I have no idea where they will be living after my parents are gone.

I’m really grasping at straws to understand this. I’d say it’s preferable to not die alone I guess. The only thing I need to make sure of before I die is that my kids know I love them. They already know that.Other than that I have no end of life wishes. I use to think I’d want to die all morphined up now I’m not so sure. I’ve experienced some of the worst pain known to man. It wasn’t the end of the world.

That makes more sense.

I really hope and pray I’m not coming off offensively. It’s just I feel so open since I’m anon. I’m gonna start being more sensitive.
