2. Die after a long painful illness at the age of 90.

At 90 years old, I'd feel much better about dying because I would have really seen/enjoyed life.

If I had to choose I think I'd pick 1. I really hate the thought of suffering.

1. One if only I could tell my family I love them.

The lady at the corner had a massive heart attack where her heart basically exploded and no one got to say they loved each other and good-bye.

Oh..and I also don't want my kids' to have to deal with losing a parent that early.....so I still pick 2!

ETA: how long is the 'long painful illness' though? (i'm thinking not 30 years, right?)

2 -- I would want more time to spend with DS.

2. 60 is way too young.

2 more time with kids/grandkids/great grandkids sucking up the pain would be worth it

I'm almost 40, that doesn't give me a heck of a lot of time. My DD will only be 23. She may not be even married yet!

I kind of think that those moms that are older are more likely to pick #2!!

#2. It's an additional 30 years to spend with my kid and grandchildren.

This post reminds me of Tuesdays with Morrie.

#2--More time w/ my kids, DH & grandkids--DH lost his Dad at 59 & it sucks. Plus, I know I am the minority here, but I think suffering would be good for me...I don't think it's always a bad thing--I think it'd make me take time to evaluate my life, where my soul is & bring me closer to God. But I am Christian & suffering definitely has value in my religious views (Jesus on the cross, for example).

#2 without a doubt. No matter how I die I wouldn't trade that extra 30 years with my family for anything.

My Dad died pretty quickly - massive heart attack when I was 23 (he was 66).

My DH's mom died at 85 after suffering from dementia for 10 plus years. She didn't know who anyone was. It was hard to see her that way.

I would never want to have a long "painful" illness because then the kids are so torn because to "wish someone to die" is so wrong...but you don't like to see them in pain. I had an uncle that lived about 6 years in pain (cancer) and the last 2 years he was literally begging to die because of the pain.
