When would you like 'to go' ?

[Beebo]

Just like that, on my bike at the top of a mountain in Spain. I want a good few years before I do though.

The greatly missed Vernon went that way.
On his bike and very quick.
Just sadly too soon.

Indeed he did.

And another chap sadly died on his bike on a FNR a few years back.

Regardless of my situation in life (health or otherwise), I want to go when God Wills it, neither before nor after.

Just over six weeks ago would have suited me, which was the day after my wife died. I now have to live with the pain and grief of losing her for the rest of my days.

Im so sorry to hear that. 50% of everyone in a long term relationship will suffer your pain.

Anyway, it’s nice to see you are back here, even in these difficult circumstances.

today would be fine

When the nightly orgies stop.

How's the dream therapy going by the way?

 

[Paulus]

As long as I am mobile, I want to keep going. Both my parents lasted into old age, 82 and 92 . So as long as my health holds up and I can get about somehow that's good .
I'll reassess when things change.

reminds me of my friend's grandad

He was a "80 a day" type smoker - firm working class man - what he said he meant and NO-ONE was going to tell him what to do!!!!!

Anyway - the doctor and his family tried for ages to get him t cut down on his smoking but he was not going to be told by anyone!

Then they were watching a documentary one day and they showed the lungs of a smoker against those of a non-smoker

He had one packet left - which was a warning to the family as he was going to need more soon and they had better get some before the shops closed
But he took them out - screwed them up and threw them into the fire
and said - That's it - I'm not smoking another one EVER

and he didn;t -
nearly killed him - his doctor tried to get him to start again and wind down gradually but he had SAID he was stopping and that was that

he died many years later on a lounger at the side of a pool in SPain on holiday with the whole family - just didn;t wake up

QUite a nice way to go - he wasn;t even ill - just fell asleep and didn;t wake up

Pain in the backside sorting out all the paperwork and getting him home for a funeral and buriel - but he was fine!

Welcome back, I won't overdo the jolliness given the circumstances but it's nice to see you again.

Be a bit difficult to go after.

 

[Electric_Andy]

As soon as I become bed-ridden I think I'll want to go pretty swiftly. I wouldn't want to go into a care home, unless of course I'd be holding out for something like a first great grnadchild or something

 

[All uphill]

today would be fine

I'm sorry you feel that way; it's a feeling I carried around with me for many years.

I hope you can find a way to escape that feeling at least some of the time.

But that's assuming I remain full of him and vigour.

Another entry in the 2024 Type Contest?

Oh - and she wants a forest burial but won;t say what that means

See https://www.funeralguide.co.uk/help...des/a-guide-to-woodland-burial-green-funerals

I think it’s something I’d quite like as a resting place.

 

[matticus]

I'd like to go like my grandad - quietly, in his sleep.


Not screaming, like the passengers in his car.
