To die peacefully at home in old age, if possible in one's sleep, is the "ideal departure" most of us wish for. In reality, 8 out of 10 Swiss people die in an EMS or hospital, as a result of cardiovascular disease (27.5%) or cancer (23.1%), according to figures from the Swiss Federal Statistical Office. How do we deal with the inevitability of death? How can we prepare for it in the most peaceful way possible?
