When you hear about HOW someone you knew died do you ever think to yourself 'wow I hope I don't go out like they did'?

[Still-alive]

You likely might think 'wow rip,' or 'my condolences'... but is there a part of you that thinks 'wow i sure hope what happened to them doesn't happen to me.'? Like if they died of cancer, or in a car accident? stuff like that

Yeah thats one of the first things i think of actually

Sometimes i think that

I rarely think that unless there was something very unusual about their death

No i don't think that at all.

Sometimes I think that, if they died in a really unfortunate way. I thought that about my friend that I talked about on your last question, the one that I wish I knew where he was buried so that I could visit his grave. He died in the middle of covid lockdown, alone in his bedroom, accidentally. He’d gone out mushroom picking, hoping to have a trip on psychedelic mushrooms, but he’d actually grabbed the wrong type of mushrooms and poisoned himself. He was alone and his mother was at work. If we weren’t in lockdown then he would’ve had friends around as trip sitters.

I've lost some dear people in my life who suffered before they died.

I hardly ever thought that what they went through would happen to me.

I was more concerned about whether or not I might have made a positive difference if I got a chance to help them win over their adversities.

How does it go? "I hope I die peacefully in my sleep like my grandfather, not screaming in panic like his passengers"!

In your sleep when you've got nothing more to do is the only "good" way to go. But some ways are far, far worse than others, and I'd very much like to cut that short if I'm on that path.

I hate saying this, but yes I must admit that thought crosses my mind often. Whenever I hear that someone had a painful or violent death, I can't help thinking this.

And that's one of the things that scares me most about death, we know it will happen, we just don't know how.

No. Just Today, On with my Sister, We Spoke of Classmates who Sadly Passed from Sickness. Way Too Young to Die. xxoo

I just had a friend of mine die in a roll over on the 60 and I definitely didn’t hope i don’t go out that way. Shit is heartbreaking

A girl at my high school tripped and fell to her death while posing for a photo by a waterfall.

[GoodGuyBreakingBad]

Yeah, I agree
