I wish I could say I'm where Steve is on the subject, but I'm just not right now. I cannot say (with any conviction) that I am ready to die. I have a young child for whom I dearly desire to complete the "process of raising to adulthood. "
I've been there, with 3 children, and had an experience where I could have gone on, but had the responsibility to stay for the children. That was my job in life.
Reading this article made me realize that now that the kids are mostly grown, all I feel I want to do to make peace with death is write letters to help guide them in the future. (I wished my father had left me a letter.) How freeing to realize that.
