I know you said 'no family and friends' type-stuff, but...I am a little bit envious of my paternal grandfather. He knows how he will die, and that it will be near-instant, painless, and in the relatively near future: He has a large inoperable brain aneurism (a bulge in a vessel caused by thinning walls). It will eventually burst, as likely as not in his sleep, and that will be that.
He's known about it for 9 months, more than long enough to make his peace with everyone, but it's not as if it is progressive, or deteriorating, and he's in perfectly good health except that at any moment he could die. He could have minutes or another couple years. I think that sort of certain uncertainty probably gives you a healthy attitude to appreciate your final days.
