I'm only expected to live another few years, generally otters will live to around 8 or 9 years and I'm 6, but I'm a General in the Otter Special Forces so I have achieved all of my dreams...bring on death in OWW1 I will fight and die by my AK47... Or get ran over by a van trying to cross the road to the good pond where the sheep don't piss.
I saw a customer of mine die recently with bowel cancer. He was 71 and had it for two years. The last two months was agony for him, if I could have I would have put him out of his misery myself. Just saying.
The only thing to fear is fear itself! There is some terrible ways to die, a lot already mentioned on this thread. We all want it to be as gentle and peaceful as possible. But whatever happens like most things in life you just deal with it the best you can.
Not worried at all, I've had a long happy marriage, currently 45 years, we have two wonderful daughters and two gorgeous grand children, my wife is my best friend and we live fairly comfortably although by no means financially well off. I'm 67 and had a minor heart attack last year, my wife had a kidney removed for a tumour two years ago but we have both made full recoveries. Having your health far outweighs any financial considerations and when my time comes I know in my own mind I've done my best, had a good hard working life and have no regrets, what could be nicer.
Death never bothered me one bit before my lads were born but now it terrifies me to the point of anxiety. I hate the thought off missing out on their life. If i was to go now theyd probs forget i existed in about 10 years time!
Not afraid of dying although I would prefer to go just dying peacefully in my sleep free of pain. Yes I have made a will and my son will be well looked after. 56 years old and have a school reunion soon. Worked out 27 ex school chums have already popped their clogs.
I try not to think about it, but it's going to happen one day. I suppose dying in your sleep is the best way to go, failing that a massive heart attack and get it done quick. Cancer and other slow forms of dying frighten the **** out of me. I watched someone go down hill very slowly with Motor Neurones Disease, trust me lads, you don't want to get this, it's such a cruel disease and unlike certain cancers, there is no cure for it. It's a one way ticket and robs you of all dignity.
It was indeed - thing is they could not tell me why, I remember the doc saying after all the tests (i was in hospital for 2 months) that sometimes they just have to put it down to fate. Then you pick the paper up and thay tell you the second glass of beer/wine or farting too much is bad for you. Well that may be but whilst I stalk this earth I am going to enjoy myself f**k it cause you don't know whats coming
Buried or Cremated, what are you opting for? If cremation any wishes for your ashes to be scattered anywhere?
I couldn't give a **** what they do with me once I'm gone. Chuck me in a ****ing skip for all I care. But I want **** all to do with churches, priests or vicars. Kiddie fiddling twats.
Cremated with one of them "celebration of life" type of "service" then anyone that wants to can say a few words about what a c**t I was Then my ashes could be scattered on the ex wife's porridge (without her knowledge) and I could poison the t**t
I'm not afraid of actually dying. What I'd be upset/afraid about is missing out on what's to come. I think most of us have lived through a time with immense change e.g. technology, communication, travel, knowledge, media, sport and it's amazing how far we've come. Imagine a person that died just 20 year ago, died never knowning the internet, smartphones, worldwide travel as it is today and many other things. Imagine what the world may be like in 20 years time, not just for yourself but your children and your children's children. When I think about death it's the future beyond that which I think about and how sad it will be that I won't get to see how 'mankind' will progress, or my loved ones. How will their lives unfold, how will the progress of civilisation unfold. Space travel, new worlds discovered, new technologies, healthcare (imagine a cure for cancer). That's just a fact of life and the only thing that upsets me when I think about death tbh.
