“I feel like I’m the only CFer who doesn’t care about the probability of never having children. I feel like I’m the only CFer who doesn’t care about dying at all, because when it happens, it happens. There is nothing I can do about it. I have come to terms with death when I was 12 on the list for a transplant.”

Not a CFer but long since come to terms with dying. In my case I had a series of serious aspirations close together (gastroparesis and bronchiectasis is a bad combination), and every single time it happened I realized I could die that day or that week. I don’t have a projected lifespan because such things aren’t predictable, but I’m as ready to die tomorrow as I am 30 years from now, and I feel like fearing it just gets in the way of living. And yeah my standpoint on it seems unusual at least in specific online communities, in that I neither fear death nor want to just die already. Most people who express opinions on death seem to have one or the other sentiments.
