I stumbled upon this thread and logged in just to say hello. Sorry to hear about your illness, I hope everything goes as well as possible in such unfortunate circumstances.

You're in my thoughts now. I live in Finland and we're strangers, but I'll remember you. You're not alone; we're all in this together, this inexplicable thing called life.

If there is "something else" to death other than the end of consciousness, and if you can, please do come say hi when the moment comes for you. I won't be frightened, I'll remember you.

EDIT: I just realized this is an AMA, so I'll rephrase: Can you please come and say hi to me when you die? If you can and I notice, I'll log in ASAP and check this thread.

(I'm agnostic but open to possibilities.)

EDIT2: When I learned about Ray Manzarek's death yesterday I immediately remembered this song sung by him after Jim Morrison's death. The lyrics seem appropriate. Have a listen if you can.

You're on a tightrope ride, nobody by your side

Well, you're all alone, gotta find a new home

Don't go over the line. You better keep on time

Or you'll lose your mind on your tightrope ride

Watch out, don't fall! Careful, don't slip!

You better get your balance, you have to feel the way

There are no more questions, no answers today

There are no reasons, there are no more rhymes

But if you feel it, you can fly next time

You can fly next time, or maybe this time

Did you think we were all together?

Did you think we were all the same?

Did you think maybe I could help you

Remember your name, remember the game

What's the name of the game

It's a very good game, never stays the same

It's the number one from mud to sun

You're on a tightrope ride, we're all by your side

But you're all alone, and we're going home

And we're by your side, but you're all alone

Like a Rolling Stone, like Brian Jones

On a tightrope ride
