"Good death"

A lot of people are now talking about death. Excellent news! 

A lot of people are using the terms 'good death'... also EXCELLENT news!

What do the terms mean though? What constitutes a good death would be subjective, no? 

For me, it would be a death where I have had the opportunity to say what needs to be said, make amends where needed. A good death would also be without pain and undue suffering for both myself and my family/friends; it would also be one that was left uncomplicated by outside or underlying factors (a clean estate that wouldn't drag on for ever, as an example). 

Have you thought about your 'ideal' death scenario? More on this in the next post...
