If you mean what should you do personally? Maybe look at some reasons why they passed away, whether it was genetics, smoking, something else during your upbringing. Start getting tested to see whether you have beginning signs. Go from there.


Also may be worth getting counselling. Sometimes things can be coincidence or due to choices. My grandfathers brothers and father all died quite young and yet he is now in his late 90s.
