This may be moved,but did not want to create a new thread. There are several people that have died before me, that I wish I could ask a question to, or make comment to - such as the following My mother- what really happened the night you died?- Questionable To a long time BF- did you ever really forgive me ? Cancer To my beloved ex son in law - why, did you think we would love you less ? Suicide To my nephew - who always asked me as a kid, for just 5 more minutes to finish something. Couldn't you ha Ed waited just five more minutes? Suicide To my BIL, who was ,so much to us all- Why did you never mention your addiction all our long talks?-cardiomyopathy and alcoholism My MIL- Why did you and dad never address the the evil that lurked in your oldest? Diabetic issues To my FIL- you tried hard to leave things in order before you left this earth, and you forgot one important detail that messed up your entire plan - old age CHF 92 Wish I had them all sitting around the table, smiling and full of answers.

Last night I watched a documentary on Prime Video called "Take Me Out Feet First," about medically-assisted dying. I must say, it was both fascinating and extremely sad to watch, and amazing that people in their last days on earth decided to be a part of a documentary. Here's some info if you have any interest... https://www.outfeetfirst.com/ If you have Amazon Prime, it is free to watch. CLICK HERE!
I decided to skip the video. I’ve been wrestling with my thoughts and feelings about death for a long time, and here’s what I’ve come up with so far. I’m afraid of the dying process because of the potential pain involved. I don’t fear the concept of death itself. My main emotion about it is more regret that I didn’t get to do a lot of things. I’m an atheist, so I don’t fear the idea of hell. I wasn’t around before 1966, and I’m okay with that. If I’m not around in 2040 when robots are fighting wars, I’m okay with missing that too. I’m glad our generation got to experience life both with and without the internet. But, the way things are heading now, there are going to be a lot of things in the future that we might be better off not experiencing. I love dogs but those robotic dogs designed for combat give me nightmares!
I see your new here- Welcome Hanna. Avatars of some kind are appreciated - for me at least. Hope you enjoy the Forum.
