If you knew you had one day to live what would you do with it?

Question

I am asking this respectfully. I have had many loved ones die suddenly It is a bit of food for thought for me

Answer 1

I would go nuts,or do everything fun till I'm done.

Answer 2

If I have just 24 hours to live, I'd let everyone I love and respect know that I'll always be there for them and tell them the truth about how I really felt for them. I mean sometimes you don't tell someone how you feel.
One thing I'd really like to do is find my Hero, although I've let go about 2 weeks ago, I'd still love to see him again.
Also, I'd try to get everything cleared with people I don't usually... appreciate the presence of... I'd like to leave with a positive mind with no worries. And I want to spend my time with my best friends and family.
In some strange way, I want to know those people I never dared talk to... Maybe drink Iced Cappuccino one last time with my best friend.. if Tim Horton's machine isn't broken down that is. <--- I'm serious. Having said that, I want to personally thank my local Police Officers, Firefighters, EMT and Paramedics for they have protected me. I'm a teenager, these people are my Heroes and I respect them for who they are...

And for sure I'd attempt to save a life before I die.

Answer 3

i would not do anything different. Why? because i had a friend die two years ago she was only 19 and from that time on i made sure that every day my family and friend knew that i loved them just in case i would die. I also try to make sure i do not have any tasks left undone and i am also going to make out a will soon at the current age of 22. Live every day as it is your last and you will never regret anything. Never go to bed angry at someone, forgive those that hurt you, and always be true to yourself.

Answer 4

Spend all the money I have on the biggest party ever. I'd invite everyone I knew, and even people I didn't know, to come celebrate my last day here. It'd rock!
And I'm not joking, I really would go out with a bang if I knew I only had one day left.

Answer 5

First I would want to say to all my family that I love them one last time. Then, I would want to do some thing that I enjoyed doing, some thing that might help me forget about it, and just live an enjoyable life, how ever short it might be. Which is what I basically do any way come to think of it, at least with every chance I have.

Answer 6

Unfortunately, the day is 1/3 gone by the time you wake up.
So during the night I would write letters to some people, to those who had a positive impact in my life to encourage them to continue. Such might be an employer or teacher, a cashier, anyone, mostly to encourage.

When morning light arrives, I would pray thanking God for the gift of knowing this is my last day. I would tell Him that I love Him and ask Him to help me in my faith to get beyond fear of when the moment would be.

I'd call all my family members to tell them I love them and ask them if there is anything that they want me to answer to, some way they ever felt hurt and didnt understand.

I'd call my exhusband and tell him I forgive him (already did but he didnt know). (I figure he'd come to the funeral and tho not very nice he IS prone to nostalgia)

I would visit the grandkids and greatnieces/nephews and spend time with them. We would discuss me (gently) and dying (gently) and I would leave them with the best example, in many ways, about dying, for them not to fear it. Maybe we would cry together but that would be OK.

Yes, a video would be nice to leave and I would just tell the people who would be watching it more of my inner thoughts and what I felt about things I never did, like visit other countries, and maybe have some sage thing to say about the rest of their life.

By suppertime, I think I might think about going to a nursing home and talk to some residents there,even strangers and just discuss life and death, maybe ask to learn how to knit, crochet, or tat (I forgot but I'd like to relearn)

By evening I'm sure I'd be pretty tired but full of hope and love.
I'd take a bubble bath with my husband, then I'd bleep and bleep and bleep. And when I felt ready to let go, if that was an option, I'd ask my husband to hold my exhausted self and fall asleep in his arms.

Answer 7

I would use my last day to tell someone how I really feel about them. I would want them to know that I was in love with them from the start. I would write a letter to my family thanking them for all that they have done.

I really think it's so important to tell ppl how you feel about them. You might not be here tomorrow to tell them. I just wish that I could follow my own advice and tell him how I feel.

Answer 8

Tell ur family and ur friends how much u love them so much from the deepest in ur heart and ask for forgiveness of whatever u've done wrong also forgive those people who had hurt ur feelings

Answer 9

Go to India and join the brother's of Mother Theresa's order.

Answer 10

I would spend the entire day with my husband and my children, playing and being silly. I would also like to make a video so that my children would be able to remember their mother in this way.

Answer 11

I would call everyone I knew and tell them how much I loved them and how glad I was to have known them, and how glad I was to have had a good life that I enjoyed.
