God and Death, dying out.

[WinterHold]

They die out. One by one; first their health declines, and then they become weaker and weaker, until one of them falls. The fall might be a silent stroke, maybe it's a type of paralysis, something that screams "decay": the body of your loved one is decaying. It cannot hold anymore.

Yes; I'm speaking about the departure of a person you love so much to the other side. The grim reaper floats above their head; and the most interesting fact of it all is that the moments that precede their departure, they become so sick and crippled they can't even talk.

I'm speaking specifically about Ishemeic Strokes. Through all my life I thought I was tough, until I saw that family member vomits on themselves due to tube feeding. It was the saddest scene I ever saw, and I knew what the grim reaper's fist is like.

Our loved ones will all be gone, if we didn't go before them. Every day I spend at the hospital reminds me of that fact. And reminds me more that I need something eternal by my side, something that stays no matter how old I get, or how alone I be. Someone that never leaves.

That one is God. And I believe in him. In my time their will be no one else as an ever lasting companion, it's not for him it's for me; I believe  for myself not to become sad.

With God; death won't be in vein. It would be another gateway.

You just gave the reason why religions exist.  People are afraid of dying and they want to live forever.  Since their lives are crap they want something better so they invent the idea of a soul that will exist after they die.  So that enables con men to come up with a religious doctrine that promises people what they want, but only if they do what the con men want.  Otherwise the person will spend eternity in hell.  It all sounds so reasonable because people have already deluded themselves without any previous help.  The con men and their religions just add structure to the person's own self delusion.

We will all die.  Some people experience horrific deaths.  Others go through a long process of dying.  Some lives end suddenly without warning.  If a person chooses to go through a long process of dying it's want they want.  There's no reason to feel sad about it other that you will miss their company and support.

This is a good way to go for some people = https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yOV8mBjHHYg

When a person you knew all your life suffers a grim fate; it hits badly and differently than any previous pain. The sadness will come to you no matter what.

I'm truly sorry for your (impending?) loss.  Given the suffering and loss of dignity that often follows a stroke, how do you feel about assisted suicide?

Thank you, Boru.
Really appreciated.

If you wanted the complete honest truth; I thought about it but the sufferer never talked about such scenario or even had a will. There are fates worse than death and ischemic strokes are one of them. Personally, I would take the path of euthanasia if I was ever hit with a stroke or something similar in magnitude, I'll write it in my will. They lost their ability to speak anyways. It's also illegal in here -punished by execution; ...................................-.
