What age did that happen for you Dwayne?
Becoming spiritually and mentally ready to die?
My folks have been that way for a long time...both now just about 80 years old.
Scares me to death...the thought of my folks' and my own mortality.
Is there a difference between being ready and giving up?
I have hauled a lot of old people to the ER who said similar things about being ready to die....but they sure as hell weren't ready while in the back of that ambulance!
I'll give it a go.
Being ready came when my last kid no longer depended on me to learn and survive, its likely your parents are in the same spot.
do I want to take the last bus? Hell yes!! But I'm no longer afraid of it happening to soon.
There's a huge difference between being ready and giving up, my grandmother gave up after her son, my dad died. I can't say as though I blame her, she fought medical problems for a long time but dad passing was it for her, she didn't want to see anymore.
