Absolutely. Lady at work retired after 30 years. She died two months later.

I hope they are waiting for me, and will love me again.

Say I had like 5 years remaining. It's not immediate and it's far enough out to where you could probably easily do most of the things you want to do. In the last couple of months it would be crazy hard knowing it's all coming to an end
Especially if you didn't have any health concerns and/or were fairly young. Is it going to be a freak accident? And your last day, is it like final destination and you're trying to run from the inevitable taking extreme caution in everything you do?
It is definitely better that we don't and can't know. Not saying I wouldn't want to know, but you would live life differently if you knew.

Your Death...
I just don't want to be there when it happens...

I’m not really a fan of dying and have a track record of not doing it to this point. I think i just won’t.

I'm going through that now with my best friend and it sucks. Friend just got a prognosis of 6 - 12 months, depending on treatment but has accepted his fate. It's hard to hear someone say "Well, I guess this is my last ...., etc"
I'm just trying to keep it together until I accept what's going on and do all I can to support him because his family has just checked out.
But, in spite of all the emotions involved, I think knowing is much better than not knowing, especially for those left behind.

Well I was diagnosed with stage 4 mestatic prostate cancer about 6 months ago. No cure. I’m 61 and have lived a full life. Did the chemo. Oncologist says I have about 18 months. This cancer will be very aggressive when it comes for me so I want have to suffer too long. I have moved to be with my kids and grandkids. My kids will be taken care of financially when I go. I am at peace.

If it’s a long time from now, sure. If it’s while my son is still young, no way. I can’t deal with the thought of not being here for him while he needs me.

Gah damn man. Any bucket list things? Anything you want but haven’t had the chance to do? The OT’s reach is far! Let’s do something special this Sunday morning!

Definitely "When". The day before, go grab Reconciliation, Viaticum, Extreme Unction, and Apostolic Pardon; then peace out...literally.

Everyone knows they could die tomorrow. If you choose to live as though that’s true, I personally don’t see much benefit in knowing exactly when.
None of us want to live every day as if death is imminent.
When you know it’s imminent, your priorities change.
Edited: I was in law enforcement and was ordered to do something I strongly believed would likely lead to my death. But refusing would mean someone less capable than me would have to do it.
I wanted to call my wife, tell her I loved her and talk her through some financial management stuff to make sure the kids would be ok. What stopped me was knowing that call would make me an emotional wreck and I would not perform as well…which would make my death more likely.
I didn’t make that call.
[spoiler alert]
I lived, but in that moment, my priorities changed.

When it's my time to go I'd prefer to be run over either by a train or a speeding 18 wheeler.

I am having lunch with my son, daughter(who is pregnant with my second grandson), son-in-law and grandson??
Posted on 4/14/24 at 12:38 pm to Torbemsti80
Yes! I would know exactly when it quit work to maintain my lifestyle and get full enjoyment at the end on retirement savings. Also if you know it’s going to be painful or unpleasant I can take myself out the game early in a less uncomfortable way.
Posted on 4/14/24 at 12:40 pm to Torbemsti80
Dont wanna know. Would ruin life.

Best death ever had to be my buddy’s grandma. She was 96 with basically zero significant health challenges or limitations. We’re talking still able to walk around the mall for hours with her daughters and enjoy herself. Went to bed one night and just randomly stroked out in her sleep. We should all be so lucky.
As for me, I’m hoping PAS and other euthanasia options are more widely accepted in the decades ahead. I’d hate to be 90 and feel my independence waning and there being nothing I can do about it…nursing homes are not for me. I don’t want to go out that way, especially if dementia is involved.

I went to a haunted house with some friends once. An old lady lived there, if you looked into her eye you saw your death. I choose not look.
