Yes - the bucket list is a strange phenomenon - I suppose the phrase itself feels a bit distasteful.
There is some merit in the concept, if not the wording - I have been struck by the way wills has taken the opportunity to use her awareness of her life's limitation to see all her friends and family - and I guess that if I were aware that I had a short life expectancy I can think of lots of lovely music that I would try to hear live and I would like to spend a bit of time gazing at the sea. It does not have to be materialistic; but even if it were, I guess it is each to their own. My BIL chose to drive a steam train when he knew he only had weeks to live - he had always wanted to and loved it - I don't find that distasteful - I am just glad he had a good day.
I am not sure what a "good death" is - I am sure it means something different to each of us, as there are now no set social rules.
Anger management!!! Help needed.
