My dear friend died peacefully tonight pain free, and surrounded by family. I hope I am afforded the same death .

I`m sorry to hear that Anne. x

[anneasquith]

Thank you sj .

sorry to hear that, anne. For myself, quietly in my sleep will do; I'd rather not know it was coming.

Sorry to here this news Anne my best wishes and condolences are with you xx

[237SJ]

I think we all hope to be afforded the same (quick) death. My Dad died when he was strimming the lawn. At the time I was distraught but when I look back now, that wasn't a bad way to go.

A peaceful passing is not a lot to ask is it?

Sorry your friend has has died Anne x

[anneasquith]

My friends father died on the golf course, she said for him that would be just perfect.

[vetuste_ennemi]

Yes, Anne. And to your friend RIP.

[tonyav]

Many condolences, anne.

I suppose I'd prefer it to happen where it will cause least upset to others; my father died at work, which was a shock to the office girls.

My Mum said she would like to "Snuff it on a plane" I was on an aircraft with her when she said that. I could have killed her! Sorry to digress. It must be strange when your peers come to the end of their lives. I guess it comes to us all eventually.

[anneasquith]

I am just so happy she died painfree,peaceful and her family surrounding her. She deserved that .

When my Father passed away we new it was going to happen but not when, but my brother and I were holding his hands when the time came for him to die.

[237SJ]

That's good. When you hear about some of the traumatic deaths that some people endure, it's comforting to know that your loved ones had a peaceful death.

[Cloverjo]

That’s lovely, anne.

[anneasquith]

I think we all wish for that experience of death. Or does it really matter ?

[237SJ]

I think it does Anne. In my experience anyway

[TonyV]

When my time comes I would prefer to die painlessly or under the wheels of a bus feeling nothing.

[albaqwerty]

Am sorry to read this anne :( xx

I think that's what we all wish for, peaceful and pain-free.

[ummmm]

Sorry for your loss.

It's so very hard to watch someone die in pain. It's also very shocking when someone dies unexpectedly.

I'm glad your friend died peacefully.
