How would you wrap up the loose ends in your life if God permitted you the knowledge that you would soon be leaving?
Peace Be With You,
Debra

I would spend my remaining time letting others know that I love them. Making memories with them that will last a lifetime. Writing messages for my sons to read when they grown up. Notes for my family to read later. And much time praising God and preparing my family for life without me. Plus I would pack as much life into the time left.

Know the much as you can, people, places history, be in peace with everybody and forgive, do some good no matter what, leave your mark around here, it can be any kind of art. And like M. Luther King said; "Even if I know the world is over tomorrow I would plant a tree today".

I would do exactally what I am doing now. I am caring for my aging parents. If they were not here anymore for that 6 months, I would embark upon my plan for my future, to bicycle tour around Europe, take pictures and write.
In other words, nothing would change for me. I have no regrets, those who I love know it, and a fore knowledge of my demise would not cause me any panic or hurry. I will acheive that which I am intended to. I will continue to learn each day something new.

Well I was told long ago I only had 6 months left to live. So they made me do a living will. Only God can give or take a life not a doctor. It has been over 5 years since then. I got involved in trying to leave a part of me that is good behind to help those I care about. I went online joined peace talk groups to try to help Israel and Palestine get along. We helped for awhile until people within the group who were either Jews or Muslims began coming and inciting others by insulting them such that the group fell apart also others began soliciting for funds which were probably used for terrorism which happened shortly afterwards so the peace ended...again. I did web pages online in a time when there were not any for preschool to elementary age children which was my degree area. I took online classes because I was too ill to go out much. I came very close to dying but I found homeopathic remedies and holistic healing herbal remedies that traditional Western medicine often does not practise so I am still here. If you look online you can see possibly some of the not so greatly done web pages I have left under Eeiren go search the search engines. I helped people in college in my family, I helped children in my family learn to read which was my area of emphasis. I got well and now am remarried to a very nice immigrant Totanaca Indian from Mexico which taught me to be less prejudiced about such people because he spoke such perfect English I thought he was a college educated part Hispanic man. He is a very nice hard working man and I am having problems with his visa to come back to the US because they are investigating us for possible terrorism while all these other people are here illegally. I expect it to not be approved because it is all about the money not about security spouses are harrassed the most regardless of countries because they know they can bleed their US citizen spouses whereas students from poor countries can only pay immigration so much and illegals from Honduras or El Salvador where as my friends who really need Temporary Protective Services cannot get it or Political Asylum who are rain forest Indians. Regardless my spouse will come back like all others legal or illegally but the problem for you all is he cannot pay taxes when he comes back and he has paid taxes up to now. My point is what they did is not making the US safer or better for any of us. So I made the most of my time and still do because one never knows when their name may be called and it is time to go home for self judgement. I met a Canadian woman who had to wait 30 years for her papers to be approved when she married a US citizen whereas a friend of mine who came here illegally from Honduras claimed TPS to get it soon he will have residency when he came here after 1990 TPS ended in 1989 and the extension is only for those here prior to 1990 from El Salvador and Honduras. I was also told recently that your tax dollars are going to pay for Border Crossing guards to bring illegals over the border in a Border Crossing Van for 400 bucks. So I am still arguing with all systems to make the world safer and more honest for us all. You should watch the movie or read the book about the woman who wrote The Valley of the Dolls. She managed to live long enough that she provided well for her disabled child and became a famous writer. It is impressive and inspirational.

Well, if doctors told me I only had 6 months to live, I'd use the time to wrap up my affairs so my husband is taken care of, so that my parents who are both retired have the support they need since I won't be there to care for them. I wouldn't quit work, I'd still do my job. I'd live life like I normally live it. Even through my everyday life I gain enough beauty and experiences that I don't feel the need to do anything 'special'.

Today is the last day of my life and it should always be treated as such. If I keep doing what I think I would be doing on the last day of my life, then I would live a very Loving life always.

Bet you wouldn't !!
Everybody always says " yes this is what i would do" but in reality you will find you do the the exact opposite or nothing remotely like you thought.
It really is one of these situations that until it comes your way and the reality is on your doorstep you'll never know.
Fear makes you do things that you never thought you were capable off and are right out of character with your personality.

It's not what you take when you leave this world, It's what you leave behind you when you go. I would just let God guide me and he would have control of what I would be doing in my last 6 months to live... Praise God!

I have lived a good life and shared the truth with all my friends, I have to admit I would be giddy with excitement knowing that soon I would be welcomed into the arms of the Creator, what an awesome moment that will be.

I would spend every moment I could with my family and friends... I'd go outside more and enjoy nature. I would see if I could get out of work and just enjoy life as much as I could.
This life is so hard - I'll be glad to go finally go Home.

I like reading your questions. I think I'd do pretty much the same thing I do now, not really much change. Maybe take a trip to see more of God's great earth.
