How to cope with the very moment when death will come for you? (lemmy.world)

I'm not sure I want to die of a heart attack if I live to old age. I thought maybe I'd use a gun to relieve my suffering so that everything would end quickly, but I'm too scared. Are there any recommendations on how to die without suffering or something like that? Maybe I should leave this world during a happy dream?

Or should I humble myself and go through suffering before I die?

I'm clarifying: it's not that I want to commit suicide when I'm young or right now, no, I mean when, let's say, I have one day, a week or a month left to live suffering from an illness, or I know that after a while I'm going to have a heart attack that will definitely kill me.

I get the point, reduce the suffering when you're at the moment. This is what I don't look forward to as well, not death itself, but dying in whatever form it takes. But know that any suffering is also finite, even the long ones, and hopefully you can avoid the few longer versions.

But for now, live for the moment. You get one shot at this, so don't spend it worrying about something that hasn't happened yet. Enjoy life, observe the details around you that we tend to block out as noise. Find ways to record and pass them on to others.
