@Neea@corneill.es : yes ! That has been my conclusion too, talking about MY death has implication about THEIR death.
I also think that, in the way I frame the conversation about how low my life expectancy probably is, noone really wants to confront the "dark" side of privilege. We talk about it in life, but not in death (...they're the same thing, but you see what I mean).

@ladyteruki@mastodon.social And I mean, even without the statistics you're using, everyone has lost someone at a (relative) young age, haven't they? My best friend's dad died in his thirties of an unpredictable heart attack. One of my great-aunts and her husband died in their twenties in a car accident, when my mom's cousin wasn't even ten. Several people around me died of cancer near retirement age. Death is part of life.
