Now 76 with minor ( to me) health issues. My mental state is, I have been dying since the day I was born. IE we will all die someday, I have ups & downs, some anxiety. I try to ‘treat myself’ even if loved ones don’t treat me; my dog is my best friend. I have mobility issues but force myself, mentally and physically to get moving regardless of how I feel, I don’t always succeed but try to look forward to the next day and have plans for the next day, to do nothing or something. I am religious and spiritual but stopped going to a physical church the past 2 years for personal reasons. I do not miss interactions in a church. It’s hard to get moving but I force myself.

Good for you! That's the key...a good attitude! Keep it up! And great advice!
I am 70 years young, I don't think about death in a negative way, since I know we were not born in this world to go through heartache, problems and die. I know there is so much more.
I don't go to any church, I once went from church to church looking for answers to the meaning of life and death. it has taken me a life time to come the conclusion that we each must work out our own salvation. We each have something we were born to learn, and accomplish. Two of the
hardest things for people to do before passing on, is #1 ask the person we have hurt to forgive us. the #2 forgive the person that has hurt us. I find if we cant do this, something inside a person causes then to fear death. And those who have live and want to die, it is pain, and unable to face and forgive self. My personal Opinion Life is so beautiful let nothing hold you back enjoy it.
