Everyone dies alone. If you have children, you will probably have more joy and connection in life. There are a few exceptions — I met an enliightened Buddhist monk (the real deal), and he was doing way better than anyone — but vast majority of humans (and he even admitted himself) would be better off having kids, something that’s obvious once you have kids.
There is a minority of miserable people who probably should not have kids for the sake of the kids.

I do not think of dying in the company of my family as dying alone. Dying alone is dying alone, with some nurse who may feign sympathy but deep down doesn’t care and will scarf a burrito in the next room as you’re gasping for air. That’s dying alone.
Nobody dies alone, Christ is with you.
It's true.
