Thoughts about death

I would think anyone in their right mind wouid like to pass without pain. having done and said all they wanted to the people that matter the most.

I am in remission from cancer 3 yrs ago and at my lowest I rationolised death amd made my peace, in that their is no afterlife we as humans want to think there is meaning to life and something greater.
When in fact we are an insignificant part of of an insignificant planet in an insignificant galaxy

As mentioned before animals dont think of death and the after life,but becaise we have more intellignce we have the fundamental inherant trait of humans which superseeds all else “hope” without that the human race wouid be nothing
do today what you can and live to the best of your ability.

Everyone's time comes and it is inevitable,you just have to accept it may not be the way you wouid wish. What will be will be

The guilt would kill you right? The terrible, overwhelming guilt as you see the look of hurt and betrayal on his face, as a single tear forms in the corner of his eye, that would kill you stone dead (you monster)?

I'm imagining more a scene reminiscent of Terminator 2 involving liquid nitrogen, actually...!

I've always thought that my father had one of the "best" deaths you could have - fighting cancer for years, he went out for a picnic with my mum, who was his teenage girlfriend and together ever since, in the countryside, then simply collapsed after they got home and never woke up again. I can't begin to imagine how my mum felt, but if I had to leave this earth, I'd want it to be a day spent like that.

The thought of death terrifies me. I have a young family that I want to watch grow and develop and I still have so many things that I would like to see, do and achieve.

When I do eventually go I would like it to tick the following boxes

1)Pain free
2)Zero awareness (instantaneously or in my sleep)
3)Not traumatic for the family left behind to witness.

If destiny results in me ticking all of those, then its a result.

We all have to go at some point. As quick and as painless as possible for me please **thumbs up**

Difficult to tick all three unfortunatly...:/

My standard after dinner toast has been for many years..

"May you all live long successful and fulfilling lives and all die a sudden painless and completely unexpected death"

:p

I reached another milestone this time last week by reaching 60 which for somebody with suicidal tendencies all his life is a miracle.
I'd like to go like Terley's Grandad - go to bed and not wake up.

More importantly, why wouldn't you be?

The idea of non-existance is terrifying to anyone who is sane..

Being "executed" is just the act of reaching that state of non-existance.. And why would anyone want their last moments to be execution?

i can honestly say i have no fear of death i am more afraid of loved ones dying around me i don't want to die anytime soon but when the time comes i do not think i will be afraid and long as my family are looked after
 
Death doesn't scare me, it's just the means.

If I have a terminal illness, I have control by way of going to Dignitas. If I hit a cliff whilst flying, I won't know anything.

What terrifies me is a situation where I have no control and someone is wiping my arse for me. :(
 
It's inevitable. I don't care how I go. When I go, I go. Pointless pondering or wishing for it to be easy/pain free. You just don't know. So don't think about it. You will die eventually, accept it now, that's the easiest way to make it painless.
