How do you want to "walk off into the sunset?" ?

I was thinking about this earlier today for some reason.

When your time comes, how do you want to leave this world? What do you hope you can do when you're time comes? Let me explain further...



I want this to play at my funeral.

This song illustrates perfectly all the emotions I've had to endure throughout my life. It's happy in parts, sad in others and is suspenseful, fearful, angry but determined throughout the entire song.

I feel as if, when I do come to die, this song conveys the emotion of how my passing would be perfectly. I feel as if it's like.... even though things weren't perfect, the world wasn't perfect, I wasn't perfect. And even though I had to see all the evil in the world, I still, somehow, saw the light and was able to make something beautiful out of this god awful mess we call life. And even though I made mistakes, I got through it with my dignity intact anyways.

Because of that, I've earned the right to finally be able to disappear over the horizon. I'll walk hand-in-hand with death, he'll look at me but won't say a word. However, his face is all I need to see to confirm that I did it. I made it through the storm. As I take his hand he bends over and whispers in my ear - "Thank you for being such a good man" and then, we'll disappear over the horizon....parting this world, as equals.
 
How I want to leave:

1. Natural Causes
2. Self determined by means of emptying. Starving myself of water and food. I'd actually prefer this to natural, in some respects. Though I'm not sure I'd do it. I was driven to think about it because I have issues drinking water. Bottled water makes me sick. Even certain filtered water does. I can drink tap, though. If I were not so hypersensitive I doubt it would have crossed my mind.
3. Sometimes I want someone who loves me to kill me. The thought comes during certain suffering.

I've imagined myself dying in innumerable ways but none of them seem preferable. Having had two near death experiences in my life and been revived both times, I can safely say that I ultimately don't really care what kills me because it would all facilitate the same process. My selfish request is for there to be a few moments of peace and quiet for me to lay there while I cross over. The last thing I'd want as my auditory cells atrophy is to be surrounded by hysterical people and drama so that the last thing I hear is emotional craziness as the final mystery is being revealed.

My ideal death would be one where there are people around me but they are holding space. Since reading up on a lot of Tibetan works I have this instinctual feeling that moving the body immediately after death is not a good idea.

Of course, none of this matters. How I die is how I die. And once I'm dead I won't really have a say anyway.
 
Natural causes surrounded by people I love would be ideal...but that's pretty unlikely isn't it. Anything but a degenerative or really debilitating disease.

I would definitely want to be cremated and have my ashes scattered somewhere out in nature. And it may be cliché but I'd like Stairway to Heaven played at my memorial, mostly because it's the song that made me see an afterlife while tripping once :) not that I actually believe in an afterlife, but it's a pretty wonderful memory.
 
I once had an overdose/panic attack near the end of a three hour tantra massage. I couldn't control my breathing anymore and started to hyperventilate. My face started tingling and I couldn't move my arms or legs. The masseuse never stopped, like she wanted me dead or something :)
Dying during sex in a whore house would be something alright.
 
I want time to settle my affairs and make sure my family isn't burdened.


I want to leave my family and my son enough money to accomplish what they want to in life.


I want to die before the pain meds stop working, with my beloved around me so I can tell them not to worry.


Simple.
 
Want? I'll probably am never going to have to answer that question IRL.

I figure I'll wreck my motorcycle one of these days/years/decades. who knows when? hopefully 2 things will result: i don't hurt anyone else, and it takes me out completely and doesnt leave me 'half dead" you know?

i think id be ok with this?
 
I'd like to die doing something fun, even if the death itself ends up being painful as long as I'm at least going out having a good time (initially). Probably an OD, whether accidental or on purpose I'm not sure. I've always thought I'd like to die after 40 or 50 unless some exciting changes happen in my life.
 
I see dying as a beautiful thing honestly.

How I imagine my death to be like is setting sail in a clear blue ocean. Bringing the things that meant something to me along.. I'm talking jewellery such as a wedding ring or a watch, maybe a book if it had a huge impact on me. Small things.

Then when I can see no more land, I listen to my funeral song and take whatever drug will slowly make my life slip away.

I'll sit on the floor of my sailboat, lean with my back against the plank I've been sitting on. Rethink all the beautiful moments I've experienced. See my life flash before my eyes. Slowly feel the world slipping away. The music numbing.. my life passing.
 
Realistically, the fattest shot of dope I've ever done, with a little coke in their, but if we're getting creative,,,,


-1 "jumping in front of the bullet" e.g. Donating a kidney to my father then dying because of it
-2 "the Kurt Cobain or the layne staley" a depressing life with some success and eventually the heroin takes me away, in a self pitying, poetic type manner
-3 a shootout

Personally I would prefer to go out in some kind of accident like Skydiving or being in some super highspeed crash, failing that if I get some terrible diease & am hospital bound I would prefer to do it myself via a huge shot of Heroin.
 
This is some heavy shit, I haven't even figured out how I want to live let alone how I want to die
 
After a long, happy life.. I hope to be there for my girlfriend when she dies.. so she dies happily..

Then.. Assuming (/hoping) that there is nobody that cares about me that i too care about (enough).. I will probably kill myself with something like an opiate overdose.

Pretty traditional - I would like to walk off the earth (pass away) with my friends and family around me.
