    Working in hospice and working with people as they approach their transition and end of their experience here, there’s a touch of comfort and anxiety watching the many ways people can go. There are definitely preferred ways to go, and some that are heartbreaking, and some that I would personally find terrifying. Don’t fear comfort meds. They’re there for a reason.

      I’m an infantry combat veteran and my experiences with death lean more towards the violent. My only real goal is to live long enough to die naturally as the other ways all seem rather unpleasant, but if assuming I don’t make it to a ripe old age, then I just hope it’s quick.
