While I hope the time leading up to it is free of pain (physical and emotional), the actual death itself won't affect me much, of course.
So what's important, then, is that it happens in a way that doesn't cause my loved ones undue pain after I'm gone.
What that will mean, I expect, is that I've left a legacy of love and good works in my wake, that all of my practical affairs have been dealt with already, and that it's not messy, sudden or fraught with legal issues.
Falling asleep and just not waking up sometime once I've passed 100? Yeah, that'd work.
Unfortunately, the far greater likelihood, given my health history, is that I'm going to contract something painful and debilitating and spend five years or so in utter, useless misery before I finally kick off before 70. I only hope I can have a productive and satisfying life in the meantime.
