I am terminally ill therefore soometimes i sit up at night pondering the meaning of life. wondering what others would do if they were facing a terminal illness. whats important ? how would you prepare your husband or wife, your family especially your child? or teenager? I am still hopeful!! I've beat the clock before only this time seems a little rougher. SSO

This discussion touches me a lot... I am thinking how you could cope up living your daily lives but worrying what will happen to you tomorrow. Hope this piece of advice will open your mind so that everything will be fine. Life is so beautiful... we just have to live it the way we wanted to be... The life that nobody dictates us what to do... Being happy inspite all the trials can somehow uplifts our spirits... Always think that God is always with you... We can't really predict our lives, we just have to be prepared always... Being at peace with self is the most and very important thing we should do so as to be at peace. Settle all the unsettled issue behind you... Forgive all the people that hurt you and ask forgiveness to all the people you hurt... Love everything in your surroundings... your family, your friends, your loveones.... you will somehow leave heartprints in their hearts... God loves you so much friend.... and me too... I may be beside you during your hard times, but i'll pray for you that you'll be well... God bless you!!!

Hi my friend, never give up hope, none of us know when it is our time. Please do not feel alone, there are many people even in this forum that have very serious ailments some even terminal but we must fight every day and enjoy every day that we are given. Our minds are very powerful, we can overcome a lot if we keep our thinking positive.

I'm sorry that you're ill and I hope that you are successful in beating the clock again. I haven't gone through something like this personally but my husband did when his late wife was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer a little over six years ago. What was important to her was spending time with her family for as long as she could. She wanted to stay at home and when she became too sick to see her grandchildren anymore she wrote everyone in the family notes which they have all kept. She and my husband prepared their two children and three grandchildren for what was to come by being honest with them and giving them as much, or as little information as they needed. She focused on spirituality with the grandchildren, talked about going to heaven and seeing angels. She tried to keep a very positive attitude throughout. She told a friend of mine that she wanted happy memories to remain, even when she was sick. Take care.
