history: I am old.  I am seperated from my wife.  I live far from my children.  For pragmatoic reasons I am the one that can file for divorce.  I do not want to die alone. I am old and in good health_comma_ but death is around the corner. You shouldn't think about death! Take each day as it comes That is riduculous.  Death is inevitible.
current: Thinking like that seems stressful
next: Of course, but unavoiable.  Death is not really the concern, but dying.
