i know this may sound weird but given a chance to choose the way you will die, how would you like it to happen to you? * airplane crash * ship wrecked * vehicular accident * cancer * gun shot * stabbed * poisoned * others ____ me i would like to die having leukemia. i would like to die slowly. although i know how will i agonize from pain, i still want to die slowly. this may sound selfish because for sure my family and love ones will surely get hurt too. but maybe we'll get through this pain together and accept the fact that im going to die soon. maybe it will be more easier to let go of each other.

I wish I will not die! I just hope that Jesus comes again with me still alive. That is possible actually. But should that not happen then I would prefer to die in a very peaceful way. I really don't know how but it is up to Lord to grant this prayer of mine in the best possible way, He alone knows.

Yes exactly that is what I mean, the way Enoch and even Elijah when they were taken up to heaven without necessarily going through the process of dying. Is it not a wonderful opportunity? But I supposed it takes special people like them to be chosen and be given such a unique gift I should say!

I would rather die in my sleep so I am not laying there in pain or suffering. I will not really know what is going on or when to expect it. I think it would be very peaceful to die in my sleep. I sure hope my husband doesn't pass on before me though.

that would be really a peaceful way of dying. and it can make other people think also that you are just sleeping.

Dying in my sleep would be ideal. The next way would be to die quickly from natural causes. I do not want to lay there and suffer and put my family through suffering. I had to go through this myself and it is hard on everyone. I hope when I do go that my friends and family do not grieve so much and that they remember all the good times we had together instead of focusing on me being gone.

i will sleep then will not wake up anymore, it's like sleeping beauty lol but the only difference between sleeping beauty is she was been kissed by a prince & wake up again. but in this case, if you sleep, then you'll never wake up even though you we're been kissed by tons of guyz hehehe..

Hi lotters, I would prefer to die having shot, as I believe rather than dying by suffering every day it is good to die having pain at one stage and in one shot in one step.what do you say???????Thanks a lot

Hi chechuva, Many people will no doubt think of this as a very morbid subject, but although we may not be given the choice to decide how we will go, it is certain that we must all leave this physical earth. I hope to live to a good old age and die simply because this body is worn out.I hope to be of a clear mind and die happy surrounded by family and friends and eagerly looking forward to the next great adventure. Blessings.

If given the chance to choose how I will die,I want to die while I'm asleep.I don't want my love ones suffer If I choose to die slowly it really sounds selfish.Every time panic attacks at night I always pray If it's my time to die forgive me first for all the wrong I've done and take me while I'm asleep.

I know I would not handle dying slowly well. Although, I would rather die slowly than watch my loved ones die slowly. If I could have my choice, I would like to die in my sleep or in some other rather quick manner. I would be happier not knowing what was coming. The constant worry and wondering when it was going to happen would be too much for me to handle.

I would like to die in a heroic manner. I want to die while saving someone and die for a cause. Life is precious and I don't want to waste it for no valid reason at all.

I would like to die in my sleep. That is when I don't have as much pain. With the stage of depression that I have, it is always on my mind. I know there are others out there that have more problens than I do, but I can't take the pain and my memory is going, it bothers me and my boys have to see me some days that I can hardly walk, or I forget where I am driving to, and I am only 39 years old. I do what I can when I can. I have papers written out about what should happen with my kids and with some of the items that I have to give away. So, for me, just going to sleep and not waking up would be the nicest things for me.

For me the how is much less important than the when. i couldn't bear life without my partner, nor could i expect Him to have to deal with the loss of me, so to that end i'd prefer to go with Him. He has dealt with the loss of so many important people in his life i feel it would be wrong to go be wrong to go before Him.

I don't like to die slowly, I'd like to die as quick as possible where I can't feel anything. I don't like to die where someone can be blame. Example die due to crime or accident cause by other. Maybe while sleeping is much better. I don't know the feeling but it seems its a peaceful die.
