@Paul: Moronic but it’s your funeral at the end of the day.
@Peter Hughes: True. We are all going to die, that is one certainty in life.
I’d rather enjoy life as a moron than to die slowly and be pitied.
@Paul: I’d rather die slowly and be pitied. At least I could plan for my death, make the necessary arrangements to take the burden off my family and also get the opportunity to say goodbye to my family so it’s not a shock when it does happen. Nothing worse than being cheated out of the opportunity to tell your loved ones you love them for the last time.
@Danielle Cafolla: Tell them your love them every day and get on with your life.
@David Walters: if you ever suddenly lost someone you would realise that’s not enough. It’s about closure.
@Danielle Cafolla: have to agree. I fear a slow death but as I get older I realise that putting your house in order before you die and preparing your family for it helps them hugely.
Thoughts with the mans family and friends shocking news for them.R.I.P……
I’d imagine speed was a big factor in this
