die and be able to stand with confidence in the presence of God (but not for a while)

when it occurs at the right time, and when the one who is dying is right with God and his fellow beings. A proper death should be a goal – a death in which (no matter the circumstances of departure) the positive effect and eternal reward of the deceased reaches far beyond the eulogy. That said, the actual death is not a matter to hasten – only the preparedness to meet God when the circumstance comes. In other words, this goal does not indicate a death wish on my part.
