Facing these concerns head-on seems like the best approach. How We Die is an instructive corrective to unrealistic hopes of a "death with dignity." Dr. Nuland writes well, as do you, making medical issues understandable without dumbing them down. I may as well mention that he died in March.

I find Dr. Yalom quite insightful on these questions.

Sometimes humor is the best medicine.
