A Sense of Completion

I want to have a sense of completion before I die, assuming I die slowly like 90% of us do.
Dr. Ira Byock wrote about this.
As we approach the end of our days on earth, we withdraw from the world, then the country, then the region or community. We say goodbye to family and friends as our perspective narrows. We are spending our precious time on a smaller slice of the proverbial pie. Just the people who matter the very most. As we move towards a sense of completion, everything that is not absolutely essential falls away. We are with ourselves, with our own reckoning of self, our own acceptance of death, making our way to the transcendental and letting go.
