This is a difficult thread to answer & hard to think about for my own family members.
My grandma (who is sick) has asked us not to put her on any sort of life support. She said she is not scared to die & would like her last days to be peaceful when the time comes. So far she has been ok but, if & when the time comes to get her brain tumor out we are all hoping for the best!
My dad also is sick with prostate cancer but says he'll beat it & be around for many years to come but also does not want any life support.
As for what my mom, dad, & grandma want: they want to be cremated.
My dad's ashes will be spread across a beautiful golf course.
Not sure about my grandma & mom.
I too would like to be cremated & spread in the ocean with the dolphins.
My husband however would like to be buried. He can't stand the thought of being on fire!
I can't come to terms with wanting to donate organs.
I had this discussion with my dad once & he said "if they were to go to a good person" than that's fine but, it either seems to go to someone that has loads of money 1st or some evil criminal that doesn't even deserve to be around. I know there have been success stories as well but, this is just how I personally feel about it!
I used to think I had "no fear" of dying but now I'm not so sure. I always wonder....what EXACTLY IS GOING TO HAPPEN when we die?
