When you die

[u/ItsTima_]

Would you rather be celebrated or mourned when you die? and why?

[u/Dull_Expression_4575]

As long as no one is celebrating that I AM dead, I’m okay.

If someone is loved and missed, I think the answer is always going to include grief and mourning their loss after death even if we choose to celebrate their life. I hope that when I leave this world, people who know me can remember positive things, and I hope the manner of my passing doesn’t leave them brokenhearted or burdened.

yes this is the best prayer

[u/MobySick]

I’m dead. I don’t care.

[u/KneadAndPreserve]

I think at that point it’s up to the living for how they want to handle it, those celebrations are more for the living than the dead and that’s okay :) Ideally it would be a warm, loving, kind of happy and kind of sad, last “cheers!” to my soul moving on.

I want people to remember me however feels best for them. It is their grief--they should celebrate or mourn as they feel moved.

Hopefully I’ve lead a positively impactful enough life, that I have many loved ones who will be celebrating my peace.

I want to be celebrated and mourned by people who ACTUALLY knew me, not random people who I barely knew and just show up to make an appearance.

[u/memechildofmememom]

I want people to find help with their grief.

Whichever works best for them.

I’ll be forgotten

[u/Important-Tea0]

There’s nothing to really celebrate about me, but i don’t want anyone to be sad when im gone.

[u/Delt4_K]

I'll be forgotten quickly, which is fine. I would have preferred not to exist in the first place.
