And all those kittens will be having A Time, helping out at the local granary.

My granddad knew the day and the time he was going to die.................the judge told him!

We all die alone.

To live on as we have is to leave behind joy, and love, and companionship, because we know it to be transitory, of the moment. We know it will turn to ash. Only those whose lives are brief can imagine that love is eternal. You should embrace that remarkable illusion. It may be the greatest gift your race has ever received.

Man, I'm depressed. But the good kind of depressed that a sip of beer will find good company with.

Give me a saddle embolus - instant death.

I've seen all sorts on the wards...gently fading away to awful stertorous breathing. Didn't spend much time in A&E - I'm sure the means are varied (and upsetting) there.

Please let me avoid dementia or motor neuron disease..,.,

I have only ever seen one person passed on and sadly .... that was my mother

Seeing someone deceased is an usual thing. I remember touching her face minutes after and the heat was leaving her body. A few minutes later it was cold. Then the last time I touched her it was beginning to get stiff. All in the space of minutes. It's surreal.

Sorry for your loss dude I have yet to experience a close family member passing away and I am not looking forward to it.

I saw this when I was walking along the quays to work in Dublin

I've been lucky so far never to see anyone die. I fear it, because i think i will have the reaction of a child to it, in that i'll be very frightened of it happening again. I remember a friend of mine telling me about the day a man just dropped dead in front of him on O'Connell Bridge. He was not shocked at all, he said matter of factly people die every day.

Plenty of sites online where you can watch people getting shot, stabbed, blown up etc, watch a few and get back to us.

Only ever seen one person die and it wasn't a case of slipping away peacefully.
Is it normally an easy process or more like a Saw movie.

Ah god love ya, you've a lot to learn. It's always always always a painful tortuous event with lots of screaming and crying by all parties present and then all of a sudden it's all over. Very much like sex.

First Death I remember was as a very young kid, and my Uncle died of TB, as many did at the time. He was "Waked" at home, and I still remember it vividly. Later on in Life, I was in a parked car ( it was parked in a layby) when a completely drunk driver hit in the rear and killed 2 people, there and then. I was very lucky to escape. It was to be the first of many such escapes, but would take a long time to list them one by one.Early morning in a town in Belarus, I was walking across a market square when an elderly Gentleman literally dropped dead right in front of me. After seeing that there was nothing I could do, I whispered an act of contrition in his ear, and left the market in a hurry,,,a foreigner standing beside a body would have led to some very serious question's by the authorities. But he died in a good way, very quick. Then on another occasion, a colleague and myself were trying to get two injured kids to a hospital. One had been hit in the head and the other in the stomach. It was a rough trip, but we got the two of them to the hospital still alive. The one who had been hit in the head died, but the other one survived. In another incident, one of our L/C's hit a mine. It happened way off the beaten track, but we managed to get the injured out of the car and back onto the main road on stretchers, but one of died on the road.
Some were "Quick and easy" some were definitely not.

Hmm. I think you need to speak to a professional.

Think the Epicurean approach to Big D works best, the only real one you'll experience is your own and if there's a God/Afterlife it's no big deal.

Really? Can you be a bit more specific?
