The next several years...friends fading away?

I realize this is a question probably for the older SWeeps here, but are you dreading the next few years? I am. I just received word of a friend and bandmate's declining health--he says he can no longer play--and my fear is that, as he battles his illness, that he is probably not long for this world. But he's been sick for a while now. Then, I begin thinking of others who aren't in the shape they once were and it becomes a huge anxious death-spiral.

After all, our timelines intrinsically overlap. I've said it to many of my friends--either I'm going to your funeral or you're going to mine.

Are any of you feeling this way?
