Would it be a surprise to you if you knew you were going to age and die someday? Alan Wolfelt and others say that you may be in mourning.
For most people, aging and death are as taboo as sex used to be. Don't talk about it, particularly not in polite company.
For me at age 68, working in hospice care, three years from a stroke, aging and dying are still awkward topics. How could this be? Answer:
Probably because thoughts of aging and dying make me sad and scared. I certaningly don't want other people to think of me as aging or about to die. Who would ask me to lunch?
