And the dementia was gradual and at no time did either realize they had it... sort of a toast until it burns then 2 seconds less. You can't do that. 3 hours ago, G Rex said: as a recently retired veterinarian - I terminated patients on a daily basis it is not easy to find a vet here who will execute this humane approach. 3 hours ago, G Rex said: start showing early symptoms of alzheimers check out the 7 stages of alz... I think we are born into stage 2... and from what i saw in taking care of my parents, they can fluctuate in and out of 3 stages in the course of a day or moments... this is not easy... not sure what the green stuff is but by the time you are ready to indulge it, you likely will not remember what it is... though whatever it is, I want some too! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike787 Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 NO! NO fear of death. Remember: nobody gets out alive, death is guaranteed. Were you afraid of being born? Death is normal....enjoy life, your Thai wife, and Thailand. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He left a will that they should all inherit something. What he didn't do it write what they should inherit. His idea was they should sort that part out themselves. ???? I hope he left something for his wife too. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that what most people fear is not death itself and neither process of dying. But rather missing the great things that life brings, and most likely the bad ones too. Essentially not being you anymore and becoming once again the "nonexistence" that you once were before you "came to life". At least for the majority of Western people... As OP mentions, I've also observed that Asians (both Thai and Chinese), seem to think of death - at least "natural death" - as something which is bound to happen, and they just ignore it, without letting that fact bother them at all. Anyway, try to make the most of every single moment of life. What we all can agree is that life is too short! Make the most out of it and don't let the fear of death overwhelm you!

I "lived in the moment" a bit too much when i was younger and subsequently worry about the consequences that may or may not be in the pipeline. The process of dying is the problem.

Yes, and then you trow up, and have people watch you 24/7 so you not going to try again. Top of that you risk damaging your organs, and need more medical help, and stuck at hospital. So much for that. Co2 is the best way to go, and a couple of valium if you need to calm down ???? cant see myself dying slowly in a hospital, waiting tick tack tick tack.

No not afraid of dying, but afraid of the process of dying as one mentioned before. I have given this some thought, although not a lot.. The guess that the 'trick' is to take the tablets and the whisky over a period of hours, maybe up to 6. Then you get to enjoy the experience as well as achieve the main aim. If brave, you could also watch an NFL game to see what you will be missing, or a game of football so that you can also bore yourself to death at the same time. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
