My atheist bucket list

1. Outlive my wife, so that I can be there for her until her end and she does not feel loss from me dying first

2. Outlive each of my parents, so that I can be there for each until his or her end and he or she does not feel loss from me dying before either of them

3. Die suddenly and quickly (before I can be transported to a hospital), with little pain and before dementia sets in

4. Be about 5 rows of people back from the railing in general admission at concerts of Five Finger Death Punch, Metallica and Alice in Chains.

I believe in God and an afterlife and yet that's on my list as well.

but if she is an theist as well, then no loss is surely felt.....or....you are depriving her of the selfless act she hopes to achieve.
The best would be for you both to die simultaneously...or admit that atheists are inherently selfish.

if they are atheists as well, then see response #1
if they are LDS then your gesture would be to die first so they can baptize you posthumously.
if they are some other faith you are depriving them of "praying for your soul" and robbing them of "hope".

thus putting several health care workers and ambulance drivers out of work.
