Was there a time in your life, ever, when you looked death right in the face? Or maybe been given the diagnosis of a terminal condition and had a poor prognosis of probable death?
I ask because I experienced this and was wondering how others who have also, have to say about it~
Do you look at life differently now, and how so?
Are you experiencing something of that nature now, and How are you coping mentally?
What do you believe lies on the other side, honestly?

I've had this experience a few times. I have been chased by bears, stared down a wolf, was once threatened witha knife in a street robbery and almost lost my car off the side of a mountain road.
The time that made the biggest impression on me was a mis-diagnosis of terminal illness. I was told I was seriously ill and wasn't - but I had long enough with the wrong diagnosis to change my way of looking at my ife.
I now value every day I have, and try to use my life to help others where I can. I don't like wasting time, and found that my Christian faith was strengthened by these experiences.
Overall, these experiences made me a better person.
