esp if you’re one of the devout ones who think they’ve been really good

    What if dying feels like letting go of all your pain? I can imagine dying feels good. The best part about dying is you can’t be certain what it’ll be like. It could be the ultimate punchline, the ultimate letdown, or just utter nonsense as you fall asleep.

    Just like life, dying is out of my control so I’m just going to go with it and try to enjoy it as much as I can.

      I mean, maybe after your heart stops and your brain function starts to slow down it might be peaceful, but unless you’re on a lot of painkillers the process up until that point tends to be excruciatingly painful - at least personally, thats the scary part.

        i see you said this was your personal anecdote…

        that said, this is just is not true (for everyone), please dont say this to people. not everyone dies in pain, or has a journey filled with it.

        i work in hospice, your words could not be farther from the truth.
