I want to go to bed and not wake up. ... Then he had a psychotic break
When the time comes, I would really like to not wake up ... this should be one of the biggest blessings of life if it happens to me. the illness in the brain is the hardest, much worse than some well advanced cancer in that it doesn't end, and it keeps hurting not just the patient but everyone around -- i have family members both young and old, the neurodegenerative illness that happens in an aging brain or the wide spread mental illness that usually starts in an adolescent brain, especially the severe ones have a long physical life ahead and an endless suffering. the frequent physical shocks (concussion) to the athlete's brain cause the same, after a while. The human brain research is the new frontier, harder to understand than maybe even the universe and harder to repair than anything. the human connectome project (brain research) should go on with lots of strategic national and global investments. that is the only hope for the distant future, not in our lifetime though.

I think my Wife's brother's passing was the worst I have been close to recently. He was 64 when his doctor put him on Statins to control cholesterol. At that time, he was basically pretty healthy, active. Within a year, he could hardly get up the steps in his house. He passed away in a nursing home at age 67. I visited him with my wife a few months before he passed and he was in a wheelchair and tried to reach up to grab something and his arm dislocated from his shoulder
