I think the list of things I'm NOT afraid of is shorter than this one.

Being cold.
Homelessness (it's almost happened to me twice).
Losing a child.
Fire.
Being unable to breathe.
Enclosed spaces.
Developing dementia.
Being lonely.
Losing control of my body and/or mind.
Cancer!!! (It's what my husband died of.)
Having a stroke and ending up in a nursing home being turned every 2 hours around the clock and needing my diapers changed because I'm incontinent. If I can't feed myself, use the bathroom on my own or breathe without a ventilator, I don't want to be here.
Falling and breaking something (I have balance issues and have fallen five times in the past year).
Driving (although I still force myself to drive, I totaled my car last November and have been fearful ever since).
Nuclear war.
