To stealan idea from Mars post, "What will be your last words"?

[Gandalf]

Actually it probably may be worth Miles to pretend to die and listen to your friends and relatives say what they really think of you.

True, but I don't think I would hear anything new. Certain people would love me an awful lot. Others, less so. It wouldn't matter at that stage.

You may or may not be pleasantly surprised mate.

I know who respects me and I know my naysayers too. There are no real shocks.
