A quotation from Paul Tillich

Since every day a little of our life is taken from us — since we are dying every day — the final hour when we cease to exist does not of itself bring death; it merely completes the death process.

Paul Tillich (1886-1965) American theologian and philosopher
The Courage To Be, ch. 1 “Being and Courage” (1952)

Darwin California now wants people as its down to 30 So as part my desert meanderings I have explored the boundaries of NWS China Lake and the northern boundary requires a trip through this city. The people I encountered were hostile and unfriendly and got the curtain moving to peek at me driving through, stuff I last encountered years ago on a Sunday in Utah polygamy territory.

Its also literally BF Nowhere so what would you be moving there for? #Mojave #desert #dying #ghosttown #travel #Darwin

You learn things about people when they pass away. My mil had such a romantic and dreamy side to her. Found a tiny angel pinned to a bra and lucky pennies that had descriptions about the luck they found after. I hope to leave some surprises about me for loved ones to find. #bereavement #grief #dying

A quotation from Christopher Marlowe

FAUSTUS: No, Faustus, curse thyself, curse Lucifer,
   That hath deprived thee of the joys of heaven.
      (The clock striketh twelve.)
   O, it strikes, it strikes! Now, body, turn to air,
   Or Lucifer will bear thee quick to hell.
      (Thunder and lightning.)
   O soul, be changed into little water drops,
   And fall into the ocean, ne’er be found!
   My God, my God, look not so fierce on me!
      (Enter Devils.)
   Adders, and serpents, let me breathe a while!
   Ugly hell, gape not. Come not Lucifer!
   I’ll burn my books! Ah, Mephistophilis!
      (Exeunt Devils with Faustus.)

Christopher "Kit" Marlowe (1564-1593) English dramatist and poet
The Tragicall History of the Life and Death of Doctor Faustus, Act 5, sc. 2 (sc. 19), l. 1498ff (1594; 1604 “A” text)

A quotation from Marcus Aurelius

The hour for your departure draws near; if you will but forget all else and pay sole regard to the helmsman of your soul and the divine spark within you — if you will but exchange your fear of having to end your life some day for a fear of failing even to begin it on nature’s true principles — you can yet become a man, worthy of the universe that gave you birth, instead of a stranger in your own homeland, bewildered by each day’s happenings as though by wonders unlooked for, and ever hanging upon this one or the next.
 
[ἐὰν οὖν, ὅτε δήποτε πρὸς ἐξόδῳ γένῃ, πάντα τὰ ἄλλα καταλιπὼν μόνον τὸ ἡγεμονικόν σου καὶ τὸ ἐν σοὶ θεῖον τιμήσῃς καὶ μὴ τὸ παύσεσθαί ποτε ῾τοὖ ζῆν φοβηθῇς, ἀλλὰ τό γε μηδέποτε ἄρξασθαι κατὰ φύσιν ζῆν, ἔσῃ ἄνθρωπος ἄξιος τοῦ γεννήσαντος κόσμου καὶ παύσῃ ξένος ὢν τῆς πατρίδος καὶ θαυμάζων ὡς ἀπροσδόκητα τὰ καθ̓ ἡμέραν γινόμενα καὶ κρεμάμενος ἐκ τοῦδε καὶ τοῦδε.]

Marcus Aurelius (AD 121-180) Roman emperor (161-180), Stoic philosopher
Meditations [To Himself; Τὰ εἰς ἑαυτόν], Book 12, ch. 1 (12.1) (AD 161-180) [tr. Staniforth (1964)]

A quotation from Alexander Smith

Your death and my death are mainly of importance to ourselves. The black plumes will be stripped off our hearses within the hour; tears will dry, hurt hearts close again, our graves grow level with the church-yard, and although we are away, the world wags on. It does not miss us; and those who are near us, when the first strangeness of vacancy wears off, will not miss us much either.

Alexander Smith (1830-1867) Scottish poet
Essay (1863), “Of Death and the Fear of Dying”, Dreamthorp

Bart De Strooper presented at the Copenhagen AD/PD-conference an excellent sketch of the three main inflection points in the pathophysiological evolution of Alzheimer's disease, https://www.alzforum.org/news/conference-coverage/big-picture-three-inflection-points-mark-amyloid-cascade

My own transition from amyloid plagues to p-tau and tangles was retarded by a four years' anti-amyloid therapy in a clinical reaearch project during 2017-22 (aducanumab). Sadly, the most probable explanation for my rapidly worsening cognitive problems may indeed be the tau-tangles, which I somehow avoided earlier. I know there are experimental therapies around somewhere for those gremlins too, but sadly not within my own reach. With respect to my AD, I'm afraid, it's "too late, my friend".

I encourage anybody with a slowly lethal disease to keep mentally in touch with it as long as you can. That's what we human beings were made for. 🤗

(kind of a sub-toot, but in the context of my family drama rather than my mastodon drama)

If you have a someone who is about to die, there's no such thing as "too early" when it comes to planning for their death.

Invite the people who want to say goodbye early rather than late. If the person lives longer than you expected, all good, and they might get a chance to say goodbye twice. Don't wait till the person who is leaving has drifted so far away that you've lost that chance for connection.

Don't prevent people from talking about death and dying if that's what they need. People have the right to opt out but it's disrespectful to shut down that conversation for other people.

There is nothing wrong or weird about planning the funeral and memorial service while the person is still alive. The shock of grief does weird things to families and friends, and ideally you shouldn't be wrestling with funeral logistics while in that state.

The Paradox of Life at Death’s Edge: The Gift of Perspective and Lessons from Near-Death Experiences

Exploring the question "What does dying feel like?" and the transformative power of facing death as life's final frontier.

"For the individuals in the documentary, this wasn’t a frightening hallucination; it was a weightless peace. The physical burdens of the body—the chronic pain, the heaviness of breathing, the constant chatter of the ego—simply evaporate."

HAMLET:                               O, I die, Horatio!
   The potent poison quite o’ercrows my spirit.
   I cannot live to hear the news from England.
   But I do prophesy th’ election lights
   On Fortinbras; he has my dying voice.
   So tell him, with th’ occurrents, more and less,
   Which have solicited — the rest is silence.
                              [Dies.]

William Shakespeare (1564-1616) English dramatist and poet
Hamlet, Act 5, sc. 2, l. 389ff (5.2.389-395) (c. 1600)
