About 30 years ago, while caring for my rapidly declining mother, I had a conversation with her palliative care nurse.  I expressed the desire to go quickly...when it was my time to go.  She agreed that all people wanted to die quickly and painlessly.  However, she said, over 70% of people die after weeks, months or even years of misery and debilitation.  Rest in peace would be a blessing after that.  

My lifelong credo has been: 
"Existing is not living.  I'm gonna live until I die.  When I can no longer live...I will live no longer.  If it's living that kills me, so be it."  

Geez...how morbid for a fishing forum!  I'd druther go fishing.
