It bothers me when my grandparents talk about it, but elderly people in general, no, it doesn't.

Not at all. I do a lot of estate planning so death is an issue whether the client is younger or older. I find that younger people (25-40) have no problem discussing death, those 40-60 are the ones who don't like to discuss it and everybody over 60 is very accepting of the whole issue. Sorry if my age generalizations have offended anyone:)

No, I would think that the older you get, the more you wonder how much longer you have. It's natural to talk about death, get one's affairs in order and let your loved ones know how much they are appreciated.

I think that if it bothered me, I would have to seriously check myself. It's the one thing that we all have in common, and I think everybody probably should be more comfortable with it. Elderly have simply had more years to come to terms with, and in its face, they are connecting with us on one of our deepest similarities.

When my mother said stuff like..."you're gonna miss me when I'm gone..." I hated it. But we all die eventually and many cope better by talking about it.

no. death is a fact and i cant argue with those. i do try to avoid the subject becoming too lenghty though. my friend is an undertaker and he can go on for hours about death.
