Avahra Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 You are at the doctor’s office and (s)he has just informed you that you have approximately one month to live. a) Do you tell anyone/everyone you are going to die? What do you do with your remaining days? c) Would you be afraid? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spartan1175 Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 sit back and reflect, then i'd probably gorge myself with tons of food during the last two weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StealthyShadows Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 I think i would tell everyone I know, but not everyone I meet. Not sure exactly though how I would spend my time, stop caring about bills thats for sure maybe take a weekend vacation with my girlfriend and enjoy ourselves. More than liklely the first 2 weeks I wouldnt be afraid, the 3rd it would be a constant thought and the 4th I would be terrified. The day in question though, man i dont even want to think about that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DUBL DUECE Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 I would tell people I knew and spend time with family and enjoy myself, I dont think I would be afraid. Hopefully I could pass peacfully and not be a draining experience for my family. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeeKnuckle Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 I wouldn't tell a soul. I don't want those sorry looks or anyone feeling sorry for me. Just want to appreciate the time I have left with them. They also don't have to worry about if this will be the last time they talk to me. They can be themselves like they always have been.First thing I'd do is make sure my shit is handled before passing on. I don't need to leave a messy legacy for anyone to clean up after. With the remaining time, I'd visit my family.I would be scared, yes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allmyusernamesaretaken1 Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 A.) I agree with PeeKnuckle. I wouldn't tell a soul. I want people to remember me as the man I was, not the sickly or near death person I would be at the time.B.) I would spend the majority month with my brother, taking him camping/fourwheeling/etc. The last week I would spend with the rest of my family. On the day leading up to my death I would steal a 67-71 fastback mustang, raising hell on the highway with a 30 car line of police cruisers chasing after me. The ending result would be a firey car crash in which I would burn to death. The remains of my body are to be cremated and put in shotgun shells to be shot over the local firing range.C.) I can't say no because that would be untrue. But I wouldn't be hysterical. Death is inevitable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spawn622 Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 I wouldn't tell anyone but my closest friend. I would get my affairs in order and spend as much time as I could with my wife and kids. Right at the end, I would work with my friend to ensure that instead of cremation, I go out in a Mythbusters style explosion. Contained, of course, so little bits if me don't go flying all over everyone watching.As for being scared, no I don't think so. I'm quite content with how I've lived my life. I feel my wife would stick to raising our kids in the same manner as we always have and they wouldn't turn out to be little shits and will make something if themselves. So, no, not scared. If anything I'd be regretful of not being able to be there for my family any longer. I am the one everyone leans on when needed. Sounds self centered, I know, but it's the truth.

Sholtz Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 A. No one gets to know.B.Stop going to classes(worthless in about a month anyway),I have always wanted to go to Six Flags, OOH and all kinds of sky diving.C. No reason to be scared as long I live with no regrets, and I am not about to start now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morrslieb Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 I'd tell my girlfriend and nobody else.I would do what I always do, I do things I enjoy as it is, so why change it? There isn't any of the life changing experiences I want to have that'll occur in a month.Death doesn't scare me, stupid people do.All that being said, my possessions are all to go to my girlfriend. She knows what to do with them in case of my untimely expiration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrsBadExample Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 I'd tell my immediate family and my boyfriend about my impending death. Nothing's worse than having the rug yanked from under you. That way all the funeral BS can be taken care of (aka: No funeral. Throw a wake.) and they aren't left with any feelings of guilt for not "treating [me] better" because I didn't tell them, and they wish they could have known. I don't want anyone feeling responsible.My remaining days would be probably trying to see as much of the world as humanly possible, and make sure no one gets saddled with my debt. school loans lolAnd as much as I'd love to say I wouldn't be afraid, I'm sure in those final few days I would become afraid. Not to mention immensely saddened by all the wonderful things I'd be leaving behind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dateranoth Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 I'd tell my wife.Probably spend time with her and familyHmm. If it was certain death? Probably not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mandy Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 I don't think I would tell any one. I would fly somewhere I've never been for a week or two and then come back to spend the last two with my family and friends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LGWyant Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 I would tell immediate family, but thats probly it.Spend the first week writing down all my ideas and book outlines, that way someone could finish them later.I'd do my best to spend the rest of my time making it easier for those I leave behind. I wouldn't be afraid, just hopeful I had done everything I could to make a difference for at least one other person. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dvdabc Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 I would tell no one, and try to do everything I have wanted to do within that month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
