Umm... so 2017 has been somewhat quiet (oops, jinxed).
Here me out.
I know it's kind of morbid, and part of my reason for creating this thread is for therapeutic reasons.
I don't handle death well. I have anxiety disorder when someone I know/admire passes.
I went into a fit of depression when Prince passed last year. It was totally unexpected and it hit me hard. Same for Alan Rickman. Then of course to top it off, Carrie Fisher.
Unexpected deaths are one thing, but those who are sick, or expected to die any day/week/month still affect me in a big way. Sir Christopher Lee for example. I knew he was very old but his death hit me hard.
And it seems like someone just passes and then I find out they had cancer or heart condition, or something terminal. So I started looking up people who are aged or sick to... I don't know... "prepare" me for if/when the news comes.
So here's a list I found of folks likely to not make it to 2018.
Again, I apologize if this seems insensitive or morbid.
