And When I Die

[Ditter]

I don’t fear death either but I do fear being incapacitated and not being able to take care of myself. My mother had a series of strokes and lived for 5 years and could do nothing for herself. I pray that when God takes me that He takes me quickly.

I’ve always focused more on the biological imperative of living.

Without an instinctive passion to live, or an instinctive fear of death, no complex life form could have survived on Earth until fairly recent times.

In other words, if “this” life was not the most important thing in “your” life, you would have no life at all for very long.

I’m 63, and it would be really nice to know - empirically “know” - what happens next.

But that’s not going to happen, so I’m going to die as quietly as I can, and try not to be a nuisance to anyone.

The physical decline makes me sad.

I’ve been a lifelong runner, but, regardless of dedication, the human body will slowly but surely erode away.

Anyway, wherever I end up, I just hope it’s going to be a fair fight.

Glad to hear he’s OK.

I have Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis. This is a terminal disease for which there is no treatment. I am not afraid of dying either, but smothering to death isn't a great deal of fun.

Amen Elsie ... Amen!!! May we have every day!!! And may those tears be washed away!!!

NO to Sister Act one two or three or anything associated with Whoopie, seven abortions, Goldberg.

In her last hours, my mother was laughing and joking with those who had already passed. Her last words were, “Open up this door, I’m coming in.”

[Nowhere Man]

When my Grandmother was a little girl, travel from her rural home to the nearby town for supplies was a two-day trip with her “Pa” by horse and wagon, an adventure she always remembered with great pleasure. As she lay dying (in her nineties), her last words were, “It's Pa! And he's coming for me in the wagon!”

The story brought a tear to my eye, then again, I lost my mother on November 18th.

She had inflammatory breast cancer, very aggressive and triple negative (resistant to all chemo drugs) so it took her life. It spread to her brain and on the last day of her life, she went into a coma. I told her my goodbyes as she lay in bed and how much I loved her and thanked her for everything. I said to her, "I have to go, time to feed the kitties." I wasn't there when she passed, a side of me wishes I could been there but then again, maybe it would have been worse for me. Still, I felt good to say my parting goodbyes and so on. I'm sure she is in Heaven now with her sister, parents, friends and pets that have passed on. I miss her deeply but there are times I feel she is close to me and still "advises" and guides me when I ask for help.

Thank you, Georgia Girl

My prayer ... May we each go naturally.

[no-to-illegals]

I’ll go there ... May have been a last for the Whoopie! That door on the Right Look Great!!!

Something like that can curdle your milk and leave you in a non-optimum state.

Indeed!

It ain’t death. It’s dying.

2 Kings around chapter 20 also has the story.

[Elsie]

HE used a talking ass, He uses me (I hope!) and I’m sure that a Sinner like Whoopi can use a Touch of the Master’s hand as well!

[Elsie]

Never - EVER! - give up on somebody!

[no-to-illegals]

May we each be used for our Father and Son ... Amen!!!

I died to self when I was Baptized, and for those in Christ there is no second death - no judgement. And I’m ready - any time . . .
