[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Middle 50's are when people start dropping like flies. It makes your head spin when you realize that you are approaching the end of life. Your sisters/brothers, parents, friends starting losing their health and their lives and it still matters. It doesn't matter that they are aged, they still matter so it feels tragic. Hospice workers, God bless you, but you are paid to assist the dying who are strangers to you. You feel no loss.[/quote] Mid-fifties? That’s still young for “dropping like flies” or “approaching the end of your life.” Young people die prematurely, it happens all the time but it’s not the norm. Cancer can strike at any age; anecdotally, people seem to be diagnosed younger and younger. My mom started to lose friends in her 60s, and it definitely increased into the 70s.[/quote]
