My greatest fear is dying young and not being able to see my children grow up. I would not see them accomplish their goals. I would not see my granchildren. This would be the most horrid thing that could happen to me.
 
that I'm stuck in a lit loop, where people keep posting the same threads over and over again.

I have some of the same fears you do. My kids are going to grow up never knowing their grandmother. I fear leaving them to grow up without me.
 
My greatest fear is living beyond my ability to be useful. Dying doesn't scare me but living too long does.

I think a lot of people have that fear but are unwilling to admit it.

When there's no longer anything you can contribute, it's time to move on? I can concur.

That to too can be a big fear for a lot of people. I remember being told by an elderly lady that it was pure hell for an active mind to be trapped in a useless body.

My other greatest fear is connected to that. It would be not realizing that time had come.
 
Another fear I have is to put in an old folks home. They are the nastiest places on earth. Some of those poor people never have visitors. It's like their family has forgotten them.

Wow So many of you have fear that I have! I hate snakes and anything creepy crawly.:eek:
 
I also have a fear of something happening to my children. I lost a brother when he was 7, it was devastating to my parents. Also my best friend lost here 4 year old to cancer 7 months ago. She is still not over it.
 
My biggest fear is of getting lost in some way out of the way place and spending the rest of my life wandering around the woods eating berries and bark and having no one else to talk to and dying completely and utterly alone. *Shudder*
 
that I waste the next 20 years of my life in a cubicle/office in front of a computer surrounded by petty selfish people trying to get ahead....
