what if....

i know this is a somber subject but
what if you were dying(chronic illness, etc) would you want to know? or just go one with life and just die at the day ur meant to die? my aunt died a few weeks ago... we found out she had cancer and kept it to herself and lived one week in hospital then died peacefully under heavy medication. So back to my question would you wanna know how long you had to live?

Really not sure about that, and anyway no one knows the time...
But somehow I feel you ask about something else...
I`m sure youre Aunt knew? But she didn`t tell it to anyone...
Sounds bouth sad and brave, as she maybe didn`t want to make here loved onse unhappy? It`s a cruel thing this canser...
I still miss my friend Jarle who died at the age of 38years.
He was my best friend ever....

Hi Choco, lovely to see you back ....

Sorry to hear about your auntie....

I would want to know how long I had to live so I could put things in order for my children. I must get my Will sorted out

I think about it but never get around to it. I must do better.

I would want to know too. And just like your Aunt, I won't tell it to anybody. I remember when the doctor treating my father told me it was lung cancer and maybe he'd live for just some months. I kept it to myself. Never told it to my siblings and to my mother. Remembered crying in the nights and in the holiday season as it was December then. Can't help but cry remembering those times. When it was over, no one ever asked me why I didn't tell them earlier. Spared them a lot of crying perhaps.

My condolences about your aunt, Choco!

No I don't want to know this about myself nor about other people. If it was good to know it God would "tell" it to us in some way.

I don't know because if I knew i'd be focusing on the illness & not living my life. Do I wanna know how long I'm gonna live....no. Life is unpredictable. I would wanna live my life & not think about death.

I have worked in pallitive with dying people of all ages...even in their 20s. I've seen people live longer then expected. I've seen them go quickly. I've even put them in body bags. Even seen a close friends mother take her last breathe also.

I've seen death & I've seen life.
It makes me wanna enjoy my life at the present moment & not think of death. Our day will come when its time whether we know when or not. Life is precious. Embrace it!

I would definitely want to know so I could get my affairs in order. I might or might not tell my friends, but might tell the church about it so they could pray for me. I would pretty much have to tell my ex.

I remember a case where a teenages was dying, and the mother knew but refused her son he was dying. She would not let him read the newspaper, or listen to the radio or TV, for fear he might find out he was dying. Nor would she even let his friends visit in case they spilled the beans. I don't want to judge the mother because I don't know her and she knew her son better than I would, but it seems cruel to me to have the son sick all the time and not tell him he was dying. If I had been that son, I would've wanted to know.
