Having said this, I still don't think it is up to us what ultimately happens to us.

First of all, I'm sorry for your loss MutedBlue
It's true what you say. It reminds me of my daughter's father who passed away last year. He knew he wouldn't be around for very long. He could have helped himself, but unfortunately he didn't, despite knowing if he didn't change his life style, he would die. He was only 55 when he passed away.
