scared of dying alone

that is a possibility for me...once my elderly mother and father leave this world....i would end up all alone, as i have never made no other support system in life...all i have are my parents...i live in a little one bedroom flat....who is gonna care for me? how will i find a female partner now?

could i die alone?

I think a lot of us face that possibility.

I wish knew what the answer is.

It's just that once we are in our 40's, it is a little late to try to start a family or new career. Even if we want to it's not like we have the motivation or energy to really do so. Yeah there are stories of people twice our age who have done it but that is the exception for sure.

Maybe things happen in our 50's or beyond that we cannot foresee right now.

I hate to say but I imagine my future self as being some old decrepit nobody rotting away in a nursing home just waiting to die.

This may not help but when you said you are 44, my knee-jerk thought was, "he is a little younger than me." Never thought I would have to say that about someone.
