terminal illness

If that was to happen to me. I would tell my parents, my sister and my boyfriend. I wou then list the things that I have not done in my life and get it done one by one before I die. In that way I can say I have done a lot of things. I would also write my last will, let my family know I want my books to be donated at the library, my clothes to the poor and my eyes to the blind. I wil quit work and enjoy quality time with my friends and loved ones :)

If the doctor told me that i have a terminal illness the first person that i will tell that i possess that kind of illness is my Mom and Dad, cause they are the one who always their for me. I will tell them when a minutes was left on my life. I want to spend my rest of my days with them with their smiling faces looking at me. Yes, I'll continue working even i know that i possess that kind of illness, cause i don't want to stay at home and feel the last breath that i will take. I want to take my life to the fullest even though i know that i soon to be die.

To answer your last question first, which I'm known to do on occasion, if at all possible 'd definitely quit work. Of course, for some people that's not an option, not if they're dependent on their jobs for health insurance. I'd hope I could spend my remaining time doing things I enjoy with people I love and enjoy being with. Who would I tell and when would I tell them? Now those questions require more thought! HOW I'd tell them would be the hardest. My parents are both gone so thankfully I wouldn't have to tell them their child would likely die before them. I'd obviously have to tell my husband and my daughter but I don't think I'd be able to tell my grandchildren. I think I'd wait as long as possible before telling anyone but not so long that it would be a total shock, if that makes any sense. That would depend on my condition and if my illness were visible to others. Thanks for such a thought-provoking discussion and welcome to myLot! Annie

I should tell my family first regarding my sickness as soon as possible because it's just fair that they should be the first to know my situation. Maybe I'll quit from work while I'm still feeling fairly well. I have to spend my remaining days in this world wisely by visiting all my friends and all those whom I offended. I will also continue my apostolate in my church.
