Interesting. If my kids were with me and I knew they were going to die too, I'd feel more at peace than if they weren't with me and I was conscious of the fact I was dying and about to leave my kids motherless. Obviously the former is horrible too but of the two options I'd rather we all die together. Is that horrible/psychopathic of me?

On the other hand, any type of death might be terrifying since I have no idea what happens at death and beyond, if anything.

It's interesting what makes people prefer one vs. the other. I want to be cremated but my spouse is opposite.
I never understand why it matters to anyone. Whatever my survivors want; it has nothing to do with me at that point.
