It's unfortunate that there are people who are unable to form bonds and become a family, they will be most unfortunate when they get hold.

However, if you chose to do that, you've chosen to be alone when you are old and vulnerable to everything that can happen to you.

Sometimes family members are evil and relationships simply are not possible. This is not a choice.

Friends? At 63? That’s not their role

You don’t want to get married have kids better plan better

I will in time likely be alone as well as I have little family and no siblings. Church family will be about it.

How did her mood go from getting eaten by cats to eating coffee beans?

The picture says a lot. Very high end lifestyle. Now she is seeing the cost. And this is just the beginning.

imagine ending my days

If the end is in a facility, you will effectively be euthanized. Your friends won't want to deal with it and extended family members are most concerned with their immediate family members.

I've seen plenty of ending scenarios. Sudden death is best. If you can afford it, avoid facilities like the plaque and have the appropriate nursing at home (your home would be best, but the elder's would be sufficient).

There are MANY churches, Godly Bible believing churches (like mine) that have supportive groups which create REAL friendships. I’ve personally seen these groups help each other; the women in those groups are accepting of new people, and stand with them in their times of need.

The fruits of Feminism has become ready for harvest and a bleak and sack cloth covered harvest it is.

In case anyone is tempted to feel sorry for her:

She chose poorly. One weaves their support basket in family first, then friends.

Who gets the blame for this? Encumbered is UN remembered. Live in a void die in a void. A person makes choices, suck it up and live with it. After all it was your choice. IMO

Did she ever go and help someone else out in the same or similar situation?

“...how terrified I am of ending up alone and being eaten by cats.”

This says MSN but must be the Bee

“Looking back, in my twenties and thirties, I was about as ready for the chains of matrimony as I was for joining the Women’s Institute. I didn’t want my life mapped out for me.”

And yet she says she is not alone by design. Yes, you are alone by design.

You're assuming they have a choice. There are many elderly singles here on this site, myself included, who would probably lie dead in our homes for several months before any family members think to call on them despite whatever acquaintances in their circle of distant friends.
