One day my parents are going to die

[GuineaDago585]

Crazy to think about. They’re in their late 40s now and nobody is sick or anything, but the thought crossing my mind is chilling. Even though I haven’t had a relationship with my mom in many years the idea of her no longer being here is terrible. Even more so for my father who I am close with.

The reality struck me a little harder this week because one of my older family members died and his kids are going through it.

So sorry for anyone here who has felt such pain already.

My dad is currently in the process of doing it right now....has been on hospice for months, keeps getting worse, etc....he's only 64....took horrible care of himself.

I've accepted it, but now the thought is less "my parents will die one day" and more......"I'm the next one in line"

His dad died, he's on his way out, guess who's next in line.

Fuark boys.

Lost my pops in 08, chit still hurts a lot sometimes.

My parents and all of their friends are in their late 80s. It seems like there is a serious health issue or death every month in my group.

Its difficult seeing your parents become children and the children become parents.

My big take away is that I dont want to end up like most of these elderly people. They literally fight everything and make life miserable for their kids. Not sure how to manage that on my end because a big part of it is mental clarity on the elderlies part.

My Mom died 40 years ago today...January 5th...Dad died in 2008

Damn that’s rough man sorry to hear You’re gonna make it brah.

Yeah, my parents had me young AF, which obviously comes with a set of issues especially early on, but I am grateful that now that I’m older that they aren’t too old yet. Definitely don’t take it for granted.

This. I have this thought all the time nowadays, but I'm very happy to know my grandparents on both sides lived long lives, my grandma is like 95 or something. If they continue to take care of themselves, my parents still have at least 20 years left to spend with me. But it still pains me to know that they'll be gone someday.

Mirin’ good family genetics. My great grandparents lived into their 80s and 90s but then my grandpa died in his mid 70s, not sure what that means for the next generation.

Aging has to be one of the most brutal realities of life. I’m already feeling uneasy about it and I’m only in my mid 20s.

Life is a big cycle. Once a man, twice a child.

Fuarrrk. R.I.P. to both of your parents. That is a beautiful stone man.

[Destor]

If you're lucky you'll have lots of adult years to wrap your head fully around the human condition before that time comes, many people are not lucky

[Kiop]

sad!

[Zuggie]

My pops died at 55 years old, heart attack. I followed the ambulance to the hospital where they were trying to bring him back to life in front my own eyes, imagine doctors on top of your father trying to bring him back to life.. Fuk that chit was hard to deal with

[aeons]

Lost my mom and dad within the last 4 years. Cherish the time you have with them man.

[OffwhiteBrah]

Losing a parent is never easy, Rip mom

[frankdtank20]

One of my brothers just died, an accident a couple of weeks ago. He was one of the nicest people I've ever known. Thankfully he didn't leave any kids behind. My parents are in their late 70s and healthy for their age, but this is crushing them. Of course my oldest brother, who most of the family has ostracized because he's a prick is alive and well, and doesn't give a schit that our brother is dead. I think my dad has another 7-10 years left, my mom another 10-15. They're both active but father time catches up with all of us.

[RocknRollMuscle]

put them on carnivore.

let them live healthy for an extra 20 years of their life.

Lost my Dad last year 3 days before Christmas from COPD. It shattered me. I was very close with him and took care of him the last 10 years of his life.

In return for taking care of him, for the last year my greedy sister (who never lifted a finger to care for him) has been torturing me over the estate because she wants "her share".

Condolences to all.

[GaryRidgway]

Maybe not. Maybe they'll live forever.

You tried to claim all of his inheritance instead of splitting it?

[steeler505]

Late 40s? Was your mother slootin' it up in high school op?

No, there is a will which specifies everything and I am the executor. I just follow the will but she doesnt like it.

On some things my father cut her out entirely. Last year before he passed he was going to remove her from the will entirely because of the things she has said to him.

People ask like what?

3-4 months before he died she told him that he should kill himself and than told him how to do it from a legal perspective. Who says this stuff to their 84 year old father who is sick?

All of the women have acted identically soulless about getting their cut in my family.

Thats a great way to describe it. I am betting that they had limited contact with the person who passed. My sister barely spoke to my Dad more than once a month. In 2022 she did not see him at all till the week he went into the hospital and than passed.

I find it interesting that the most greedy are the ones that are the most well off.

[DustinTheHuss]

My Mom is in hospice care right now for end of life, and everyone on here knows my Aunt passed away recently, and she was like a second mother to me.

It really sucks because holidays revolve around them and you really feel the loss. Plus I'm an only child so I really rely on my parents a lot and used to talk to my Mom daily. Now she can't even hold a conversation. She's only really here physically. It really sucks as then they rely on you and you become like the parent, and many times it happens when you have kids yourself, so you're in the sandwich generation!

[JuicePro]

It's true. The hardest part of life is watching those you care about grow older and more frail

[FarmersSon]

la la la I can't hear you. (that's how I feel about this topic)

In all seriousness though, I do try hard not to think about it. My parents are almost 70. They have taken very good care of themselves, and are in great shape, but are slowing down. My dad told me recently that I will be the executor of my parents' estate.

[eod8989]

It sucks my parents and grandparents are getting old and my grandma has pretty bad alzeimers

But not only that it seems like time is speeding up and everyone is aging faster not sure if this is normal when you reach your 30s but it's like it accelerated

[jimmybobjim]

Parents in late 40s? What the fuk. The only person I know with their parents in their late 40s are like barely 20 years old. You ghey teenage ph@ggit.

[Kilted100]

Here is some big news EVERYONE IS GOING TO DIE AT SOME POINT. Just cowboy the **** up and move on.
