When my time comes, I will not be alone, at least in spirit.

Loved ones who have passed on come to visit often(and no, I'm not crazy), and they will be there when I take that final journey to join them.

I prefer to be in the company of loved ones vs. dying alone. I have been with three people when they passed and I have no doubts that a soft voice telling them how much they are loved and a gentle touch caressing an arm or cheek would make one's final moments easier. I hope to be lucky enough to be surrounded by those I love and the last thing I see before I close My eyes for the last time would be My beloved family and friends bidding Me a safe Journey to the Ever After.

Statistically, it's likely to be either cancer through smoking, or a motorcycle crash, that gets me. In the former case I'll say my goodbyes and go somewhere to end it myself quietly, in the latter case it'll be "oh shit, mistake! <CRASH, BANG, GAME OVER>.

It's simply not my wish to cause those I care about any trauma by having them witness my passing.

That's the way I feel about it, too. I was with my father when he died. I was glad to be able to be there for him when he needed me to be, but... well, let's just say it's not the way I would have liked to have remembered him. Death can be very ugly.

In a perfect world, if I have the opportunity to go out on my own terms, I know exactly how and where I'll do it. I know a near-foolproof method for a clean, peaceful, and very relaxing death, and a part of the world where I'd like to cycle myself back to and where it's very unlikely anyone will find the body. I don't need anyone around me wishing me well on the way out.

Agreed.
