Trigger Warning: This Poll Concerns a Subject Which May be Painful for Many People
I have put this poll behind a cut. The subject matter concerns the death of a loved one. I understand and appreciate that this may be a painful subject for those who may have experienced this in their lives, and if this subject is apt to trigger painful memories for you, please ignore this post and don't go behind the cut.
(Preface: Recently, a good friend of mine died from a sudden heart attack while at a restaurant. He had been in seemingly good health before and his death was very quick and very unexpected. The following day I was talking with a mutual friend, whose wife had died several months earlier. She had passed away after a long battle with cancer. He discussed with me how, while he hated to see his wife suffer, he was grateful to have had that extra time with her, and how our other friend's wife never had that opportunity. Please forgive me for the morbid nature of the subject of this poll. These recent events had me pondering about my own ultimate mortality and about the loved ones and friends I will eventually leave behind someday.)
