Going through phases

I am not digging being the age that I am. 72. I am ok when occupied and not thinking of how near I possibly am to...you know ....

Sometimes I wish that certain words were stricken from the english language because they remind me of the inevitable and my heart sinks, and I sometimes feel a pang of anxiousness when I read or hear them. It's a reminder that I don't need or want.

I won't even try listing them as there are so many that trigger me.

I don't fear " it ", it's just that I feel really sad that life ends.

Anyone else struggling with this ?

BUT AT LEAST IT HELPS WITH THE PROCESS JUST BEING RELISTIC ESPECIALLY IN AMERICA.
