The best way to die

The topic of death is on my mind lately because my dad is dying of cancer.

I am impressed by the God-assisted-death experienced by Moses. Deut 32: 48 onwards...

32:48 - 50  And the Lord spoke to Moses that very same day, saying, go up to this mountain of the Abarim, Mount Nebo, which is in the land of Moab opposite Jericho, and look at the land of Canaan, which I am giving to the sons of Israel for  a possession.  Then  die on the mountain where you ascend...

34:1 - 4  Now Moses went up from the plains of Moab to Mount Nebo... Then the Lord said to him, "This is the Land which I swore to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, saying 'I will give it to your descendants'; I have let you see it with your eyes, but you shall not go over there.."

34:5 - 7  So Moses the servant of the Lord died there in the land of Moab, according to the word of the Lord.  And He (God) buried him in the valley in the land of Moab, opposite Bethpeor, but no man knows his burial place to this day.  Although Moses was one hundred and twenty years old when he died, his eye was not dim, nor his vigor abated.

Please note the following:
1. God told Moses how to die well in advance.  Moses had time to prepare himself.
2.  Moses still had good eyesight.  He was still 'vigor'.  He did not suffer much pain, did not he need chemotherapy or radiotherapy, or went in and out of hospital.
3. He could climb up Mount Nebo.  He did not need wheelchair.
4. God had comforted him that He would fulfill His promise.
5. God was with him at the moment of death
6. God brought him down to the valley to bury him.

In contrast, Jesus Christ died an excruciating death upon the cross.  Christ Jesus suffered at the time of death, but not Moses.  Jesus Christ had to suffer because He died for our sins.

Honestly, I prefer to die peacefully and comfortably like Moses.  God, please grant my wish when the time comes.
