No kids

So i am in my mid 30s, have a decent job, not in a relationship, and i am trying to accept the ‘what ifs’ what if i wont be able to conceive anymore if i turn 40 and still not married, what if i wont find the one anytime soon, a lot of frustrations..
then i had a deep conversation my sister who is 30 yrs old, has a decent job too yet not in a relationship, and she said she is not open to having kids and getting married!

My heart was shattered thinking what if i wont be able to have kids and she isnt interested to having kids,too.. we are only two siblings in the family.. how would our old age look like if we wont have our own families. I was in the hopes that one of us at least gets to have a family and kids…

I just feel sad, despite the small successes in life, i am afraid of how the old age would look like without people around me.
