I'm wondering if anyone else here is in in the same boat as me. I'm age 90 and will probably die in the next couple of years. I now spend most of my time playing the PC game, Civilization VI. It gets my mind of my sad reality.

Mitch with all due respect you've been saying this on a regular basis since you were 86 ...and you're still here....lol

I'm in the same boat. I'm alive but am going to die just like you. Actually were all in the same boat were all going to die eventually. Rather than sitting around thinking about that, why not just enjoy the fact that you are as old as you are? Take each day as a gift to experience good or bad whatever the day might bring.

BTW I'm 84 & have lived about 22 years longer than my parents & siblings did. I look at everyday above the dirt as a gift. My sadness is I expect to die before my wife does. So far we've been married 63 years so I'm certain her grief will hit her hard.
 
Mitch86: I think you are so lucky to have lived to see all the wonderful things that have happened in your lifetime. Have you considered writing your memoirs so your family can read about things you have never told them about? I'm sure it would make interesting reading to them. Or even make a Talking Book and talk about your family and friends who have influenced you in your lifetime. My eldest sister has written a book about herself from where she was born, right through schooling to when she married and about her children and grandchildren whom she thinks the world of.
 
Didn't you post another thread about this a few months ago Mitch? How do you know you won't live to be 106, like the most famous basketball fan? I saw an obituary for a 24 year old the other day and have seen far too many obits for people my oldest grandson's age (36) and son's age (57). Any of us, regardless of our ages, could die at any time. The young are dying too. Stop focusing on death...focus on your quality of life now! It's good that you are enjoying your games.

The average lifespan in the US is 78, so your innings is a result. I do have an empathy with you Mitch, but it's not any morbid kind of dread about death, rather it's living. When you have been a married couple for almost six decades, one or the other must face the bereavement of their loved one.
Best not to dwell on it, after all our inspiration comes from my grandparents who were married for seventy-five years and passed just ten weeks apart. We are going to emulate my grandparents.
