I've been on my own since my wife very recently passed from a 2+ year battle with brain cancer.
Her initial diagnosis was preceded by two weeks by my own journey to, and back, from death, with multiple cardiac arrests in conjunction with a widow maker heart attack.
Being repeatedly resuscitated by CPR and defibrillation were very horrifying experiences for me.
As I was in the throes of my heart attack, I was unable to get my wife to call an ambulance for me.
She just stared at me as I fumbled my weak fingers on my phone to try to call 911 myself for help.
What we didn't know then was that she had a massive glioblastoma brain tumor that was affecting her cognitive functioning.
She apparently couldn't comprehend what was going on with me.
Still trying to come to terms with the horror of my own cardiac arrests with no one to talk with to help me understand the trauma that I'd just gone through, then being called upon to care for her was an enormous undertaking for me.
Caring for her in her final months have been the most fulfilling times of my life, as hard as they were to get through, injuring myself in having to manhandle her mostly paralyzed body in helping her with bodily functions.
I'm ready to have an end to this Earthly journey.
When I was a young, single man, I rarely recall ever being lonely.
Being alone now is very difficult for me.
I've already spent a great deal of my life alone, especially these past 5 years being COMPLETELY alone.
I'm not so sure there IS anything like a completely incurable disease. Me have MMS which can cure everything, from what I'm told.
Well I’m actually living alone/being alone because I’ve no family or friends but it’s not scary, it’s just depressing and very lonely. So I’d go for the sickness option.

Living alone is manageable, I do it everyday for the past 6 7 years but an incurable disease is something it's very difficult to handle making it scary.
If health is lost, everything is over.
