Accepting the inevitable
#26
RE: Accepting the inevitable
As with others I don't fear death, I fear the mode of death.

For me the death that I fear the most is the lingering death. Watched 3 grandparents and both my parents go out that way. All related to cancer. Some went through surgery/radiation/chemo with the associated suffering, some denied any treatment but palliative. All did waste away. In the end they lost all of what I would consider human dignity. The ability to walk, talk, think, recognize people, eat, toilet. The list goes on. Things that gave them pleasure were taken away by well intentioned but not thoughtful health care providers. For two the pain was so bad in the end that they were put into a coma and their feeding stopped. Miserable way to end what was their happy fulfilling lives. 

Not only did they die a horrible death but it had significant traumatic effect on the people around them. People with family members that die quick experience much less suffering and grief. Coming to terms with a persons lingering death is very painful. There is a constant feeling of hopelessness waiting for death to come. 

With that as my fear I've done my research and have a plan for the end times. Everyone should have euthanasia as a choice if it comes to that.
I don't have an anger problem, I have an idiot problem.
