I don't fear it because of what it will be like for me - I fear it because of what it will be like for those close to me who will remain and have to deal with it.

Seeing your friends, relatives and kids crying and upset is the worst sort of agony - and I know a lot about this lately given a few things that have been going on in my personal life.

I want others to be happy for my havin been here and getting to share time and experiences with them, not sad and distraught because that time ends.

Goodbyes suck. The big/final goodbye will probably suck worse for all the same reasons, some of which I (badly) describe above.
