      Not sure what the difference is, except one implies the other and not vice versa. I’m not planning it, it’s just okay if it happens. Wouldn’t say I’m mentally prepared, but I hope it’s fast enough.

        Well, ready to sounds similar to passive suicidal ideation. Example: you question if you would be motivated to jump out of the way of an oncoming car or accept it.

        By mentally prepared I mean that you have an understanding of your own mortality and accept that life will end at some point without having mental or emotional stress at the thought(s).

        Edit: Passive Suicidal Ideation is a sign that assistance may be needed. Anyone struggling with this please reach out to a therapist, memorize your prevention hotline, or throw out other lifelines. I had my struggle, but I will continue because I must. I can’t rely on others to remember those important to me, or mourn them as they deserve.
