This article is a rebuttal to a quote: “You’re born alone – you’re going to die alone.” 1
I am indwelt by the Holy Spirit. It is impossible for me to “die alone”. How about you? Are you in Christ, ready to die whenever, wherever, with Him with you? I am.
We are confident, I say,
and willing rather to be absent from the body,
and to be present with the Lord.
– 2 Corinthians 5:8
13 But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren,
concerning them which are asleep,
that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope.
14 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again,
even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him.
15 For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord,
that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord
shall not prevent them which are asleep.
16 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout,
with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God:
and the dead in Christ shall rise first:
17 Then we which are alive and remain
shall be caught up together with them in the clouds,
to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.
18 Wherefore comfort one another with these words.
– 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18

We are pressured in every way – but not crushed

It must be true that Jobs did not say that. But this is interesting what Jobs actually has said: https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/steve-jobs-deathbed-speech/.
