Give me a museum and I'll fill it. (Picasso) Give me a forum ...
Yeah..I know the title is depressing. I get it. I debated whether I would even post it, but I do think it's worthy of discussion. Basically, the article discusses how the percentage of non-married folks is increasing as well as the increasing rates of childfree (or childless if you prefer that terminology) couples thus resulting in an increase of folks dying "alone". It doesn't appear that the shift in overall percentages is that great, but it is an increase and it's of particular interest to me since the DW and I have no kids and don't plan on having them. Also, my blood family is dwindling and it's quite possible I will be the end of the line. At any rate, I thought it might interest some folks who may be in a similar situation.
