No doubt. But, if they don't even know it, they can't be suffering too much at least. A quick death with minimal suffering is better than one full of years of pain, like a cancer slowly eating you away while the treatment you are receiving for it eats you away even more.

I can understand that. As for me I would just rather not die, or get old (ageing sucks, one star, do not recommend) and just live forever to avoid the existential fear of missing out of what is going to come tomorrow.

Totally understand that, too. Though another part of me is just curious enough about what, if anything, comes next to where I'd probably accept it when it happens. And, if nothing comes next, then I won't be around to lodge a complaint with life's supervisor.

Afterlife Karen says she wants to speak to the Afterlife's manager, her accommodations are a bit too toasty.

I lost both parents very suddenly like this four years apart, and I agree. Although it was shocking it is also much easier than spending years taking care of someone you know will never get better.
