A few months before mum died, she made a comment right out of the blue, about how much she missed dad. She had lost him thirty six years before. We had not been discussing him, she seemed in a world of her own at the time, as though she was forceably willing herself towards him. At 88, I think she felt that she had lived long enough. I have experienced death already at 32, when I had to be rescusitated after major surgery. Since then, I will never fear it again. I think the two things that people fear most is not death itself but, the fear of dying in pain and the fear of leaving loved ones behind. If we are lucky, we only leave behind those who we wish to live on for many years to come, our children and grandchildren, they are our future, they carry a small part of us forward in time. When it becomes our turn, we have already lost the majority of people who otherwise counted to us, parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles and so on.............. Nevertheless, and in reply to the question, I would wish to know, because I would make quite sure that I enjoyed every moment I had with those I was about to leave behind. Lin |

No Len not at the moment. There might be a time in the future when I'd want to be prepared but at the moment if I died tomorrow it would be cool - my life ain't perfect but I love it. I haven't made a success of my life but I've had some great experiences and known some fantastic people. I have no dependents so as I see things at the moment I'd rather if it was a suprise. |
