Everyone you love will die and you will be a stranger in your own country.

Yeah, but I still see some elderly people who were very well-adjusted throughout their lives (AFAIK), but still be generally sad due to loneliness.

I'm curious if elderly people with many, many kids tend to be happier due to much more frequent contact with loved ones.
