Because of this it is necessary to be very very very adaptable to survive to old age. Things that you think are going to kill you when you are young actually allow you to live longer because their awfulness prepares you for basically everyone your age or older than you dying which you are going to witness one by one as long as you are alive. this is true of all of us.
If you live long enough most of your friends will be dead by then and all your parents and aunts and uncles and most of your cousins your age or above.
So, the more longevity is in your family (your genetics) the less people you are going to watch die generally speaking.
Even in my own life I promised my father that my mother would never go into an old folks home. However, I couldn't keep that promise after she got senile Dementia in her 80s and lived to 90 in an old folks home. My wife (after my mother almost burned her apartment down accidentally we realized she wasn't going to be safe by herself anywhere without constant supervision of some kind.
Also, senile dementia is Always a Fatal Disease so you need to prepare for this once it starts in some one.
So, surviving a mother or a father in this state of decline is the worst experience of my life so far.
So, learn to be adaptable enough to survive ANYTHING or else you aren't going to live very long.
So, Good Luck with all this!
By God's Grace
PS At age 77 I have had to watch literally hundreds of people I knew and loved die one by one.
So, learn to be adaptable or else you likely aren't going to live very long.
