You are at the doctor's office and she informs you that you have approximately 1 month to live.
1. Do you tell anyone/everyone that you are going to die?
2. What do you do with your remaining days?
3. Would you be afraid?
I saw this question on a website, and was interested in how people would answer it, I would most likely, yes, tell people because it would be unfair to them if I didn't. I would spend my remaining days probably apologizing to people and stuff and when that is done, I would try to change something for the better, even if I wouldn't succeed at least I would die knowing I did something good. And of course I would be afraid.
What would you do? :]

I don't know if I could tell anyone what was going to happen. I wouldn't want theie pity and sorrow . I would wantr to live what life I would left to the fullest. I would want friends and family to have happy memories of me. I think it would be too much torment on both sides if people knew the truth,

wowww .. of course I am very happy hear the verdict of doctors like that because I have one month to repent and do good deeds to others. Thus, when it comes time, I will surely go to heaven to meet with the pretty fairies![](/Content/images/emotes/wub.gif)

Yes, I would be afraid and I would be sad that I was leaving my husband and children behind and my mother too. I would spend time writing leatters to each one of my kids giving them advice for later years since I will not be there for them and letting them know how much I love them. Then I would go to Italy with my family of course, then I would spend the remaining two weeks with friends and family. Then I think toward the very end of the month I would go sky diving. That is something I think would be really cool to do but I won't do it because I am afraid of dying, but if I am going to die any ways I might as well feel what it would feel like to fly before I die and if I crash land well, I was going to die anyways. I would tell people but only after we got back from Italy. I would not want to ruin the trip for them.

I would definitely tell the people i love about it.
I will try to be more loving, understing, generous and caring with the remaining days of my life.
I know my iniitial feeling is really to be afraid. But i also know that i will eventually accept the fact and start to face life as it is.....

I'll tell my family and my girlfriend about it. Then I will share every moments that I have with everyone around me. It would be natural, If I afraid, but I'm sure that I won't be alone. I will try everything I ever want as long as it make me happy and it's a good thing.

It would be a lie if i said that i wouldn't be terrified.
I would tell my loved ones in a calm way (even if i felt scared- i hope).
And i would go skydiving (always wanted to do it but have a weird feeling that something bad would happen if i did)... so i wouldn't be scared of it anymore! That's a plus. Otherwise i think i'd be up and down and all over the place. I hope it's something I nor anyone else has to deal with this as a real life scenario.

That would be incredibly tough to find out. I think my initial reaction would be one of sadness. I would hopefully snap out of it quickly though because I would want to be happy and enjoying myself for that last month of my life!
I'd definitely tell my friends/family. I would want to spend time with them before I was gone. Also I would probably make a list of things I wanted to do before I passed. It would basically be a list of my favorite things to do!
Great question. It's so hard to answer something like that when you're not really in the situation though, ya know? It's hard to say if our answers are what we'd really end up doing when we heard that awful news!
