My dad always believed he would die of cancer,and sure enough, he did, despite having heart trouble and having had a couple of heart attacks.
I don't think about my death and have not speculated on how I will go. Who knows?

Lightning, ???? Maybe ???? Since I expect it to be any time soon. And since I have been in the way of lightning twice. When I was a JW the lightning came into my living room ,struck my T.V. so I missed that one cos I was putting a grandchild in to bed.
The the next time my hubby was in the hospital- & my daughter was driving me home after a visit( I couldnt drive yet) the lighting came right in the back window hit my steel cast I had on my wrist for RA....Made a mark.... Dr said it was a blessing we were in a car.
So I came home & read in the Bible about lightning ....Learned about Job's kid being killed by it so thought HUH missed me twice 3 times lucky!!!!!!!
But I hope I die in my sleep... or quick with a heart attack, ( they say that is a kiss of the LORD) So LORD kiss me you will?????
I got me this here Truth Book and it explains the Truth That Leads To Everlasting Life, so, unlike 100% of my predecessors on this planet, I'm going to live forever on a paradise earth inhabited solely by Jehovah's Witnesses and vegetarian lions, tigers, and the entirety of the animal world which will have by then become vegetarian.
I too have thought alot about this lately. I've told myself if I get in a position where the end seems real close and I could get the handlebars of my motorcycle in my hands somehow, I would find myself a nice tree or a block wall, or maybe find that cliff that Thelma and Louise went off.
I hadn't connected this to an adrenaline rush before...interesting thought.
The biggest problem I see with all this is that it will be really hard to draw the line and then cross it. I imagine that when that time comes, there will always be some hope within me that my situation will somehow improve if I just wait a little longer.
Old and satisfied. Not to be. How will I die? From being worn out physically, mentally and emotionally. Notice I did not say spiritually, I have no spirituality. 70 or 80 years is the normal time limit, some sooner others later. I'm not in any hurry. I had a few close calls over the years.
