I think it would be depressing to have someone watch me die, for me and for them. I would hope that no one needs to watch that.

    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.

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

    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.

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

    I’m going to answer what I suspect OPs question intends: do I expect to feel lonely and unloved when I die?

    I hope not but that’s not my biggest fear about death. A hard truth is that in order to die, something bad has to happen. My fervent hope is that, whatever that bad thing may be, I don’t ever lose my mind, I don’t suffer terribly, and no-one else is traumatised or injured by that bad thing.

    my dream is to die quietly in my sleep, but i have lots of unfulfilled dreams, like Trump has explosive diarrhoea during a live broadcast, Putin keels over at a military parade bleeding from every orifice and thay sets if a chain that auto releases photos of him, Farage and Orban giving each other HJs at a sauna… thay sort of thing

    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.

    I won’t die alone, I’m going to jump off of a building downtown in a suit filled with candy when the time comes. King sized. The good stuff.

    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 expect to die alone, but don’t really care how it goes down. Life happens and then it doesn’t. No big deal.
