I am 24, my dad is 74. The age is coming for him faster rather than slower. As of recently, he needs round the clock care, even needs diapers. A wet towel is too heavy, his legs are shaking when he stands up, can’t control his bladder, etc. To me, this is an undignified retirement and old age. I have “fantasised” about my old age when I get to this stage. I just wanna pass with my dignity. When I am a burden to my future children and/or wife, no longer able to pass on knowledge and wisdom to my grandkids, and when i am not able to form new memories thru any activities. I just wanna pass away. Just invite my family over for one last dinner, have a double whiskey, and chase it down with a bullet. Get cremated, whatever they choose to do with my ashes is not important. Keep them on a shelf, toss them in the trash, or spread them where ever the best memories happened. Don’t care. I know this seems (and it is) early, but looking at the man i once saw as mighty and tough as nails, seeing him shrivelled up and in diapers makes me wish to never do that to my kids. Have you guys ever thought about this? submitted by /u/Inevitable_Shirt3697
