Dying Quotes
-
From the moment my dad died, from the moment I found out there was the possibility of his dying, there were many surprises - years after, minutes after.

And that enquiring man John Synge comes next,
That dying chose the living world for text
And never could have rested in the tomb
But that, long travelling, he had come
Towards nightfall upon certain set apart
In a most desolate stony place.

It is in character, ego-syntonic. It, the death, fits the person. It is a death that one might choose if it were realistically possible for one to choose one's own death.
Edwin S. Shneidman
