First of all, though it hasn't happened yet in Canada, there is a risk of death.

Oh, that's ok! I'm not worried about that.

Oh, no, I'm sorry! That came out all wrong. I know it's a risk. It's just...

Hmm, how do I put this so it doesn't sound super bad...

When I think about dying, I don't really feel scared or worried. I don't want to die, but If I die, then I die.

I guess you could say that I welcome death like an old friend.

But in a normal, healthy way.

New comic! Content note: non-serious death and dying Had a doctor consult last week and kept saying the wrong hecking things to these medical professionals who were just trying to give me good information. It's hard to find the right words in the moment for "i don't want to die but i know that death comes to everyone at some point and worrying about it is just not high on my priority list, would you like to hear about some of my actual phobias instead?"
