I find it grossly unfair that if I had a terminal illness I would be discussing its ramifications with my daughter and preparing her for my demise. But because I intend to depart by my own hand, I have to stay silent and she’ll have to endure the shock and the potential lifetime effects of not only my death, but having no preparation for it. All of the questions she’ll have later I would gladly answer now, but that’s against the rules.

I completely agree. There’s always the option of writing or recording your answers to those questions now so your daughter will have something. In a better world you could have the conversation(s) in person, but since that’s “against the rules” you may need to settle for the next best thing.
Thank you, PurebredMutt. I would certainly do so — I owe her that much.
