Not pain but PAIN!

Poor health.... I've had a slipped disc and I know what it's like to NOT be able to pick you own underwear up off the ground. To sneeze and have every part of your body hurt. To turn the wrong way and pinch a nerve that sends so much pain down your body but you can't move because it only makes it worse. Everything else, is manageable

My children dying before me.

Trump being re-elected

None of the above.

I prefer to not die. I would also add that I'm surprised at the low votes for "death." Seems to me all us nonbelievers would be scared to death of death.

Already happened.

I watched my parents retire then havve nothing to get up for in the morning. Their physical & mental health declined & they sat around waiting for death. My mother is still waiting but for her its the 1950s & her father is still alive. My father orchestrated his own death in a way it was not medically considered suicide.

I don't plan on retiring (especially with this administration in office) & when I stop working for others, I have already started working towards what I will be doing. I have a plan to be active & vital. I'm setting up for my "retirement" business.
I'm in the gym 4 to 5 days per week & honestly, Death will have to chase me down if & when It wants me.

Growing old alone. I have been single half of my adult life, and having someone to share ideas, experiences, and feelings with is the best.

I'm not afraid of death, no one can avoid that. I am afraid of suffering or prolonged illness. I'm afraid of an unfunded retirement thanks to the current administration. I'm really afraid of not being able to do what I want when I want and that would cause me to be bored out of my gourd. I'm never bored because I always have a long list of stuff to do, if I can't do them it would be sad.

Right now, it's watching my mother deteriorate, lack of money, poor health, and being alone. Kind of all overwhelming me at the moment.

Lately I am anxious about money. Health problems forced me to stop working before full retirement. Alone and poor is not a pretty picture.

I'm starting life over again and I'm finding it hard even with a degree in cybersecurity to get a job at 57, cancer survivor, and twin boys that are terminally ill. I have never been this broke in my life, as a matter of fact I've always been fairly well-off. So I guess I really don't like the prospect of me being broke!

Rats

Always thought that growing old was going to be a peaceful time to ponder things, think about stuff and write memories..... I was completely clueless about pain, sickness, not having energy to do anything and at times to get a bit sad and depressed because things are not the way I thought they would be. At the end, beats the alternative anyway....

mine is very specific. My daughter is grown, and will be traveling for work. So, when she is away, I live alone with my disabled son, who is non-verbal.

So - my greatest fear... having something catestrophic happen to me; an injury, a heart attack, or just death... and my son sits alone in this house with his dead father for days, unable to contact or help, or do anything be be afraid.

The second part of that fear is for whomever (likely my daughter) that finds the scene.

Very specific, sure. Also too likely.

Long term irreparably broken life choices that only manifest years later

Freakin' spiders. Nothing else.

Not being a here for my daughter.

America turning into the Republic of Gilead.

I don't want a lingering death. Death itself is fine. I've had friends pass with ALS, emphysema, and cancer. I've seen others struggle with crippling depression. It scares me.

My biggest fear is my daughter preceding me in death.

Losing a loved one.

Excruciatingly painful death.

Never finding love again.
