We've all watched someone wither away, you aren't alone. You need to stop worrying about that.

I worry about what I will feel when my heart stops beating, I guess even if it does knack, I'm not going to be around to remember it :confused:

You will be unconscious. My heart stopped when I was 20 while I was out and when I woke I knew nowt about it. I'm not bothered about the dying bit it's never seeing my loved ones again that bothers me. If I ever find myself alone with no friends or family I'll probably consider killing myself or getting some heroin.

yup, I was thinking Dignitas :(
 
I was diagnosed with terminal lung cancer in January this year and have undergone various types of chemotherapy treatment during this time. Right through this period the 'terminal' aspect wasn't really much of an issue to me because I was doing what I could to fight it and prolong my life. But, last week, I was told that the chemo wasn't working and that the cancer had spread and therefore the treatment would be stopped as it was just making me weaker. I was told that the median survival time for my specific symptoms was two months.
My priority now is to sort out my affairs as best as I can to spare my family that burden but it's weird in a way because at the moment life goes on, I still need to go shopping, the dishes still need washing, every home game is that little bit more special and I'm still looking forward to the new series of the Apprentice even though I may never know who wins it!
I've never had a bucket list because I wouldn't change my life, what I've done and achieved is what I am, what I was, and I'm content with that.

Good luck Marra.

That was hard to read, no idea what it was like to write and live through.

You seem to be facing it with more dignity than I think I would muster.

Really sorry to hear that fella. My dad always says to me "I don't think you actually die, as a part of you lives on through your children" Glad you are content with your life. There must be many who died lonely,uncontent with what they have done in life. Fight till the end

Like Harry said you seem to be facing your situation a lot better than I ever could. You not got anything daft you want to do that you've never done before?

I've been of the opinion that I never want to die and I wanted to be kept alive at all costs regardless of what state I was in.

My Nana died on Wednesday night, she suffered from dementia and cancer. For the past 8mths or so she's got progressively worse to the point where she would have the odd moment of clarity and be petrified about what was happening. The rest of the time she cried 'Please help me' repeatedly despite having all the medication on offer. She was bed bound, had to be cleaned by others, there was no quality of life.

This proud independent woman made me think, do I really want to be kept alive at all costs even though I know I don't want to die...ever.

Now I haven't got a clue about death, don't know if it's relief, a burden or what. I'm not as petrified of it as I was but I still don't want to die.

No sympathies about my Nana needed mind, it's good to use her experience for an objective comment!

Thank you so much for sharing that. I fear death the same as everyone and sometimes wish it was over as I dread the day any of my loved ones die before me.
