How old are you? What is your state of health? Have you lost someone very close to you recently, or have you lost many friends and relatives in recent years?

I'm 60, and starting to feel the aches and pains and limitations that come with age. I retired from work in 2009, lost my wife in 2010, and have come to realize that most of my life is behind me, and that most things in life that I wanted to do, I've already done or now no longer will.

In the past several months I've been reading a lot about the afterlife.

I'm less fearful of death now: more conscious of it, and more curious about the next world. But I still haven't reached the point where I WANT to die.

I believe that until we reach the point where our physical or mental limitations tell us otherwise, we all still have a lot of work to do, and a lot to learn, in this world. Else, why are we here?
