The wing tips looked very close to the mountain sides and the plane jumped around. I closed my eyes and then almost immediately reopened them. <br /><br />The thought that went through my mind was, "It these are the last moments of my life I want to be fully aware of them."<br /><br />So I guess that is my answer. I don't think I fear death but I often find myself getting rather picky about dying. I don't like pain. And I haven't much patience.JBinford-Bellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14293248281473648182noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8417961221792880115.post-87611511139149866022010-09-29T22:01:07.611-11:002010-09-29T22:01:07.611-11:00In the later decades of her life, Rossetti suffere...In the later decades of her life, Rossetti suffered from Graves Disease, suffering a nearly fatal attack in the early 1870s. In 1893, she developed breast cancer and though the tumour was removed, she suffered a recurrence in September 1894. She died the following year on 29 December 1894.<br /><br />This indicates that her death was marked by suffering and the effects of two chronic and serious diseases.Intellibloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04262938291462934103noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8417961221792880115.post-64789911211662165242010-09-29T15:08:32.439-11:002010-09-29T15:08:32.439-11:00I have been thinking about this topic a lot, durin...I have been thinking about this topic a lot, during the last couple of years. And I realise that most people don't want to die at all!! But there are hideous ways of going and less hideous ways. <br /><br />The worst way to die has to be a long miserable cancer where the person stops eating and has no quality of life for 3 years. Trauma is not wonderful either - being shot, being in a car accident, having one's plane fall out of the sky.<br /><br />By the way, do we know the circumstances of Christina Rossetti's own death?Helshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02849907428208235392noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8417961221792880115.post-58318301696420585222010-09-29T12:58:17.918-11:002010-09-29T12:58:17.918-11:00I think I would just ask for it to be peaceful, li...I think I would just ask for it to be peaceful, like my mother's.Wanda.....https://www.blogger.com/profile/00551160819558198338noreply@blogger.com
