My condolences to friends and family.
While a sudden, unexpected passing is shocking, the finality of death is the same, no matter the road taken. Many here have been experiencing illness and loss of family. My own 89 y.o. mother is in a memory care unit with dementia, yet is physically healthy and takes no meds. Her mother lived to 99, just three days shy of her 100th birthday, yet suffered from dementia as well. So that is half of the stock I come from.
While I am not ready to cash in my chips, I am coming around to believe that a sudden death in my sleep would be much more desirable to months or years of illness, doctors, meds, procedures, nursing homes, financial depletion, and family suffering as they watch the aging process being prolonged.
