Do you ever think about your death?

I know, there's so much living to do, but in contrast to when we are born, where we are only known to God, at the end of life there is a hope that we have encountered many people, and our family and friends will settle on us a reputation for how we showed our common humanity to others, whether we were good people, a good person to know, or someone by who's death there is a relief to others. Which kind of reputation would suit you best?

I do think about death a lot, having almost died a few months ago, which was a pretty awful experience. I found some comfort in knowing that I tried my best in life if that was the end. And now that I'm out of the hospital, these past months have been quite a time of reflection, and trying to decide what's important and what's not.

@DiscreetWriter Was that something other than Covid19?

@Bc8627 Bilateral pulmonary embolism. My lungs were filled with blood clots, and I was suffocating from the inside out, and my heart was being damaged from trying to fight against the PEs.

um yeah, no one with my specific disability has lived past 60, I turn 40 this year, I have though about it for many years, and have a strange peace with it

Not really, when it happens, it happens. No funeral though, I want everyone to party instead.

Yes I have. But it does not scare me. My only regret is leaving behind my friends and family who love me

Whatever happens I hope it’s Instantaneous. As for my reputation I only care about my kids and grandson’s thoughts.

I died once. I don’t ever really think about death with much fear anymore. I do wonder when
