If you are close to "the" moment, if you are religious (no matter which one), do you plan to pray just before you go? What would you pray for?
Since most people who go, go in haste and anguish, whereas people here - says 60000 members (overall or current idk) - are more deliberate than that... was wondering.
My time has been years coming as my untreatable autoimmune disorder has deteriorated - now paused by a spasm, trying to get it back on track.
But, as I've moved from the US, finally to some pleasant hills in south central India, as the unholy mess played out. Have had a lot of time to reflect about it all.
Personally, I am facing going with rock-hard steadiness as I can see that the law on death with dignity and medicine have not caught up with rare conditions like mine. A few hundred years ago, they couldn't treat the plague. A hundred years ago, consumption still killed. Five years ago, corona killed. In about 2 decades, they will have a cure for my condition too. I just see it that way. No frustrations of life, no pain, regret or just anything. Just recognition of another of the very many stochastic occurrences that make up human life. Were I the praying kind, I wouldn't know what to pray for here.
Wondering what goes on with other people on this site...
