I might not be scared of death but I am absolutely horrified of the pain from disease and especially from one like this.

Saint Alphonsus Ligouri Preparation for Death
I have yet to hear of any book that truly meditates upon death like that book. Too many books about death are simply edgy attention grabbers that lack substance

Fuck being scared of death, imagine the immense pain you will suffer!
even if it is jsut 24 hours of one organ shutting down after another, the symptoms till you die will be horrendeous.
I get the urge to survive when actually faced with death but after so much pain most would rather welcome death than endure any more pain.
The pain is what is worrisome not emancipating death.

Yeah I'm hoping I get cancer and can OD my way out. I won't want to "die in my sleep" aka wake up having a heart attack or not breathing while my last moments are spent in agony and regret

Now I am experiencing the Clear Light of objective reality. Nothing is happening, nothing ever has happened or ever will happen. My present sense of self, the voyager, is in reality the void itself, having no qualities or characteristics. I remember myself as the voyager, whose deepest nature is the Clear Light itself; I am one; there is no other. I am the voidness of the void, the eternal unborn, the uncreated, neither real nor unreal. All that I have been conscious of is my own play of consciousness, a dance of light, the swirling patterns of light in infinite extension, endless endlessness, the Absolute beyond change, existence, reality. I, the voyager, am inseparable from the Clear Light; I cannot be born, die, exist, or change. I know now that this is my true nature.

--From American Book of the Dead by E.J. Gold
