My stepfather passed away two weeks ago, and my mother is worried that she'll live as long as the women in her line; roughly 90+. To her, that's a nightmare of infirmity and worry. Will she have enough money? Will she be independent, or have to rely more on caregivers? She's only 80, so she's got a good decade or more to think about these things.
I think if she wasn't alone and in declining health, she'd be glad to live longer.
