dying in your sleep

am I the only person who doesn't want to go that way?

sure, it would be the less painful way, and I wouldn't feel a thing, though I worry about it.. because I live alone and I might not be found for days- seriously I can go for months without people caring where I am or what I'm doing.
I also don't like lack of awareness.. I want to be aware of what's happening when I die. I want to feel it if that makes sense.

I suppose if one's heart is going to stop when sleeping it's the least likely to cause pain to the person who's heart stops. Everything is at rest, breathing slow, heart rate minimal, body relaxed.

As I'm 55 now, I think about my 'endgame' a fair bit esp since I have a 6 y/o daughter to think of. I would like to fulfil at least one promise to myself that I made for her and that is that I live to help, guide and support her until she becomes a fully fledged vibrant adult in her own right. My other kids are already adults.

Every day I wake up is a blessing as it means I get to see another rotation of the earth around it's axis and another day in which the universe around us changes.
