He obliges, and [[InMediasRes at the beginning of the book]], recalls her expression as she died: "She was relaxed and comfortable and she was smiling.

* In the short story "Call me Joe", when a man is dying (after dumping most of his mind into an artificial body, similar to the ending of the {{Film/Avatar}}), the doctor remarks that he saw many people who didn't want to live, but this is the first one to smile until the last moment.
* In a short story by RobertSheckley, a planet has a civilization of [[DeathSeeker Death Seekers]], who believe that the only way to heaven is violent death, the more painful, the better (with every person having his own death, so wars are nonexistent). Naturally, whenever that is achieved (whether by real accident, through priests' decision, or by self arranged "accidents"), the trope is followed most literally, including with one guy who sawed a thorny bush until it fell on him (took him an hour to die).
