I just hope to die with no dependents, painlessly and unexpec

Old joke: I hope to die peacefully in my sleep like my grandfather, not screaming in terror like his passengers.

When that time comes; I expect to die because I'm alone. I do too many stupid things when no ones looking.

With God, you're never alone.

As I'm the youngest and none of us have any kids, I'll probably be left alone. And that’s fine.

I would prefer not to die alone. Not only for the company in probably one of, if not the biggest, scariest, event in someone's life, but also because of the logistics. I'd hate to be going out, unable to move while laying on the kitchen floor, and desperately, deliriously, thirsty with 2 days worth of shit caked in my pants.

That said, if going alone seems to be the case, I'll try to arrange things in advance and face it with some degree of stoicism.

I have seen many people when they are sick at close to death but not at the exact time of death. Im pretty sure most people I know who have died where alone or just hospital staff at the exact moment of death. So I guess I expect to die alone in that regard but there will likely be loved ones still alive when I die. I sorta want to go out anonymously. humanity has left such an ugly mark on this earth I don't mind not being part of its history.

I never understood the fear of dying alone really. Like if I die in my sleep on my couch while my wife is away, does that mean I’ve died alone? Doesn’t seem like such a horrible fate. I’d rather die alone than die in pain.

Ideally once I was old enough I'd say bye to everyone and head into a woods somewhere with whatever I needed for assisted dying. If I'm healthy enough, I'm willing to dig my own grave! Then a professional would come by to fill out the death certificate and plant a tree over me.

Probably...

Expect to die alone, absolutely. Do I hope to die alone, absolutely fucking not. My life has been one miserable tragedy after the other. This fate has not been my choice.

Hope so. If that happens, it’ll mean my wife won’t have to. We only have each other and I wouldn’t want her to have to go through that.

i lost my first wife when i was 32. she was 41. i’m 47 now. i remarried. but she’s an alcoholic and i worry i’ll be holding her hand when she goes, too.

i will either die of a stress heart attack in my car otw home, hopefully not harming anyone, or i’ll die alone and old and having lost everyone.

I was just a kid when I read the Kurt Vonnegut story with the Ethical Suicide parlors.

You go in and a beautiful woman sits with you as you slowly pass.

I expect to die alone. Hopefully fast and painless without noticing.

It really depends on the manner of my death. If it was gruesome and tragic? Alone please. My family doesn't need to see that.

Old and in my bed and knowing my death is coming? I want to be in my husband's arms, I want my son to know I didn't suffer.

Nah, my wife will have to handle my loss, God willing. I've seen how grandmas and grandpas react to the passing of their better halves, women seem to handle it better. 🤷‍♂️

I'm still young, but I think there is a non-zero and significant chance of me dying alone. Even the thought of it scares me. Also, I think it is a terrible thing for a child (no matter how old) to go through. Man, I'm never having kids, lol!
