Is that your parents are getting older also and won’t live forever, brutal.

Its not as bad as people make it out. If youve been a good child to your parents, you'll hold no resentment or regrets and you know they are proud of you.

Its the people who don't put in work to help out their parents that holds the most grief.

It only feels bad for me because they (particularly my dad) won't stop eating absolute chit and snacking on chips day in and day out. If my mom wasn't around he's eat like a fratboy every night.

Once you realize your own mortality, other people dying has less effect on you

im glad they will die soon

then i will inherit the rental properties

WOOOOHOOOOOO

Yeah its brutal once they go. Youre never the same & world will never feel safe again like that dedfknsrs.
You got no true backup

Had always been on my mind even in my 20s. Since I am so close to my parents, I never wanted to see them go or get old struggling to do daily tasks, get dementia, sickness, etc.

After having my Dad pass this year, had to learn that sooner or later.

Fuks you up more than you think when you see and work with them nearly 24/7.

You think that's bad, just wait till you find out you have a grey hair on your balls.

This is true. My mom is very healthy and active in her 70's but she's definitely aged a lot the past few years. It makes me sad. I also worry because she lives alone and spends 6-7 months of the year a couple hours away and she'll do stuff like stand on a kitchen stool to reach the higher cabinet stuff.

You are fortunate you were in a position that your parents were a safety net

Mine is the opposite, they are broke deadbeats and I will be responsible for them as they age (they are already mid 60s)

Man dont assume my chit bitch. Youre fortunate to have somebody, ungrateful little chit.
My dad was NC & i lost my mom @ 21yo
Youre a grown ass man crying cuz you gotta take care of your mom. **** you bitch

Yeah that's a scary thought although I'm lucky because my parents are 18 years older than me so thankfully they will be around for a while. Worst part of getting old? Lol...to many to list. The one and only thing I personally fear is losing my mind...you can be as physically fit as possible but once the mind goes...might as well pull the plug.

My wife is gonna have a rough time when her mom passes. They literally talk every few hours, and see each other every other day at worst

We randomly talked about it and she admitted she has randomly thought about that happening and almost had a panic attack.

I don't think normally adults are close to their parents like her family is tho

Pops died 22 years ago, mom about 5.
Pets dying have hurt me worse.

But Ron told me we will be re-united with our loved ones in Heaven?

My gut tells me Ron also belongs in the mentally ill thread someone just created.

I do however believe in heaven . I think Ron just may have a warped idea on how we all get there.

I will see my mom for eternity. My dad is already dead but idk if he was truly saved hopefully so all tho I got some bones to pick with him haha Godbless us

Expecting zero inheritance personally. They own a property outright (no mortgage), but my special needs sibling will pretty much own it after.

Honestly, when they go, the burden of my special needs sibling falls on me, so I'm not looking forward to it. Sibling is morbidly obese though, which might result in them kicking the bucket fairly young tbh, but I suspect the health costs when problems take hold will be outrageous and might offset any equity of the property. There's a chance they'll have health complications and pass before my mom even does tbh.

Other than having a house without a mortgage, my parents have zero money, they have multi-year car loans, and their income from social security isn't substantial enough for the bills and everything. Dad will be the first to go, due to health issues and being significantly older than mom. When he does, mom only gets to keep half of his social security income, which won't be enough obviously. She herself didn't work in her adulthood, and doesn't have any social security aside from dad. There's a small chance my mom gets an inheritance when her own parents kick the bucket, but there's sibling rivalry and feuds going on, lawyers, attempts to rewrite the will and remove my mom from everything, and my mom isn't in the best of graces from her parents. Dad's parents are gone, no inheritance for him there.

My parents are proud of me. I'm very successful, especially compared to them. Debt free, great job and income. I foresee having to provide mom/sibling at least some financial assistance when I'm in my 30's and beyond.

These are the realities. I haven't had to really think or worry about them, since dad's still alive (despite all his hospital visits, morbid obesity, older age). But once he's gone, and there's already been like 5 close calls btw, chit will hit the fan and I'll need to make some important decisions.

Do they have life insurance? Might be a good idea for them to get a good life insurance policy that will take care of your disabled sibling after they're gone.
