My family's all about quality of life and when my pain gets too much to stand any longer (this is happening sooner than later) I am doing the same thing. My dad was a perfectly healthy, sharp as a tack, 85 year old and he died in his sleep 3 years ago March 29. I am still in shock since he was so healthy and active but the family is glad that this was how he died. He wanted to die that way, I think most of us prefer quick and no pain. So I am glad he got that last wish. "Quality of life" is my family's motto. Your decisions are based on that too. I stand with you. I think more of us understand your decision more than you realize.
