Anyone scared of not being found for a long time?

[BrokenAlien]

I'm making plans to ctb, and I'm really getting sad at the prospect of how exactly it will go. I live in an apartment but nobody ever comes to my place, I don't even know if anyone would necessarily be concerned to not hear from me for days because it's my usual routine to go silent like that often. I mean I want to die, but I don't want to be dead for weeks before anyone looks for me or something. It makes me even more depressed that it could go like that- like I don't have anyone close enough to wonder. I lost the person in this world who really did care.
anyways... does anyone else fear that, is there some kind of suggestion for how I can get someone to check up on me like semi shortly AFTER I die? I know that's weird considering I'll be dead but I don't know, the idea of being found way late half eaten by my cat and decomposed well it sounds depressing.

Yes this is why I am going to a hotel

Yea..it's possible I will start to decompose before anyone finds me, even though I technically live with someone. We barely interact. I hope they don't open my door to let a cat in, which they might even if they think I'm just sleeping. I'm going to have to barricade it since it has no lock and adding a lock would be suspicious from the outside.

Well I'll be dead so no not really... I'm doing this for myself not anyone else. I'm a hell of a lot more concerned about being found too early.

But that's what happens to dead bodies, they decompose. And if you picked your ctb spot well, then the best case scenario would be that your body would have undergone some level of decomposition by the time you were found. Lord bless whomever finds you.

You're right in the main scheme of it I mean it's not going to be fun to find a body on day one OR week 3. I'll be dead so it won't matter. Weirdly comforting I guess

Delayed email. Boomerang works fine.

Same. I will have somewhat decomposed by the time he finds me.

Will you leave adequate provisions for your cat? It's a worry that the cat might suffer if you are not found for considerable time.

Delayed emails, answer machine messages, physical letter to your solicitor, stick a note to the front door so the postman will see it.

As someone above has mentioned, please leave plenty of food for your cat or better yet give them a new home. Cats are just like dogs, despite common conceptions. They feel and react to loss. Their tells are just harder to read. It wouldn't be nice having to be in the same home as your owner while they're dead.

This is one of my biggest fears, which is why I'd opt for a hotel rather than where I'd prefer, at home or in nature.

Yes I'd definitely make sure my pets are safe- probably would give them to someone to look after them. I would never want my cat to suffer :(

I will not be found until neighbours smell my rotting corpse. I have no family in this country and no friends. So I share your concern.

This is also my fear, being found decomposed. And hotels are shut right now due to Covid.
