Yeah, I hear you. But I console myself with the statistics that I got from somewhere: 2/3rds of people die in their own homes, living by themselves. It happened to my father. They found him in the kitchen sitting at the table with a cup of coffee. He had his head in his hand. The family doctor said it could have been a heart attack or a stroke. He was not too healthy in either condition but it slowed him down only moderately.
