Best Obituary

I have always read the obituaries. And I saw her obit in the NYT . I was so moved I cut it out to keep. So happy to see a link to her story here at Death Café. Thank you for posting it.

I am so grateful for the link of this article. Many if my hours during the week are spend with people who are terminally ill, who are in chronic, crippling and all consuming pain and feel so incredibly isolated because the discussion of suicide is a taboo which they aren't able to break. I am not advocating suicide, have been on the phones of Lifeline for many years, preventing people from seeing suicide as their only option but must say that there are times when suicide is a rational decision and it needs to be talked about. With much gratitude for sharing this, Phoebe ❤️

It is time to prepare my daughters for my passing, although I have no idea where to begin. As they are both adults now it's obvious that the time has come. I wonder if anyone knows a handle loving way to begin this conversation

My suicide

People who send suicidal people to a hotline really don’t care..

Thank you for the thoughtful article. I've been in constant pain for almost 18 years and have come to grips with the uncomfortable idea that my life might end this way as well.

This was a moving article. I wish I could so the same. But I don’t have any family, having already lost everyone close to me. But I’ve made arrangements and I intend to involve my one friend. But only to the extent of notifying the authorities upon my death and arranging for the county to cremate and dispose of me. Honestly my preference is to have my cremains put in the garbage.In a way I guess I’m lucky I’m dying alone in the end cause my death won’t impact anyone. There will be no pain left behind and that’s a good thing.
