i won't be inhabiting it anymore...someone might learn something from it. AND...no cost.

of course, it's just a wish...my family would freak out.

good catholic family, all that. they have made it VERY clear that i would NEVER be cremated. i'm fairly certain donating myself falls under the same category.

oh, i have. believe me.

and they will go for the organ-donor part, i'm sure...but not the rest. it would...just never really occur to them.

I don't care burn me or dig a hole and drop me in it..
It's the party afterwords that really matters..
In my will it states : Anyone that cry's or sobs will asked to leave!
It will not be a wake, it will be a celebration of life .....
When people I love die I remember what they gave to me and what they did to touch my life. Not Piss and moan about them dieing.peace

I don't really care either.

Hope that they just take my body and put it in a wheel barrow and wheel me up to the property.

Guess the buzzards will eat will that day.jaw drop

i cry. grief is real...i do try to remember positive experiences...and i don't piss and moan...but these people are gone and never coming back.

sometimes it's easier to remember that their struggle is done...and they can never hurt again...

i am human enough to admit missing my loved ones.

i also want people to be joyful, however...for my struggles will be done.

Yes greif is real, but can you see how selfish we become when a loved one dies? We seem to get upset that they will no longer be there for US.
I envy the dead, they know what is really there for us when we die.
I have to keep wondering ......dunno

i agree. it IS selfish. but still a part of being human. i try to be there for everyone else and not focus on me...however, you DO have to let go...to experience that. i choose the quiet solitude of my room, with noone around.

the dead are free...
