I've read some of the messages in this thread and thought about how I want to die. After carefully considering all the options, I've come to the conclusion that I don't really want to die after all.
Do people in general prefer to die in their homes than in hospitals ??
Is it important to you that you die in your home country and not in a foreign land ??
Personally I prefer to die in hospital than home , so far never had deaths at home somehow I think it would be uneasy to live in a home where someone died in to me...
I don't think it matters if i die in my home country or a foreign land though .
Quick and painless if possible so I won't spend month sick and be a burden to anyone. I want to be buried in my native country.
Why do so many people want to die at home ? Wont you feel uneasy or eerie living in a house someone have died in before ?
That's rather a problem for someone else.
My mother's house has had three people die in it in the last ten years. They all died peacefully, "old and full of days."
I haven't seen it as a problem. A death at a hospital is usually at the end of an illness that I'd rather not suffer through or have my family suffer through...not to mention the useless expense.

I would have no problem living in a house in which a family member (or even a stranger, ie., a previous owner) died a natural death. A suicide or murder is another issue. That's "tainted" property.

Yes ....... it's not particularly that I want to live forever, it's just that I don't want to die.
Ha Makes me recall that old codger joke. The octogenarian was asked how he'd like to die and he replied, "The same way I was born, between the legs of a 21 year old woman".
Home asleep, shedding the old life and stepping into eternity. That sounds cowardly doesn't it? To want to die in my sleep.
