i dont really have a clue, its hard to imagine...but any one of us could drop dead at any given moment, i just wonder what goes through a persons mind the moment they know there going to pass away.

That happened to me, I was in the Air Force, and I just drove my motorcycle off a cliff on Lookout Mountain by Denver Colorado, it was about 70 feet down to solid rock, I was sure I was going to die, and all I thought about on the way down was; "Man, my boss is going to be so pissed off at me when I don't show up for work tomorrow"
And I wasn't afraid, it was very weird, maybe it's the brains way of protecting you from all the emotional trauma, (since you're probably going to die anyway, why bother?) you might think that it would be a horrible experience, but I was just thinking about trivial stuff.
The whole experience didn't really start to suck until I arrived at the hospital, then it sucked, bad, for about a year.

Actually I had this experience. Our car boomeranged on ice and bounced back and forth on a bridge in the mountains. I knew I was going to die.
Thoughts are very very fast. My whole life flashed before my eyes - like a speeded up video. It was eerie. There was no time for emotions to be involved. Just that flash.
Quite obviously I did not die. We did not break through the railing & fall into the chasm. Obviously my mission on earth was not as yet complete.

i know someone very close to me in this position. They have been given just a couple of months... so they are looking at sometime around new year as a possible death...
It totally changes your world.. they way you think, eat, drink, live in general.... I think if your ill and about to die you would probably feel relief that the time has finally come and you just pass (peacefully....hopefully)
We all know death is inevitable but never accept it.....

I'd be fecken well pissed off. Haven't been to New Zealand yet to see the Lord of the Rings locations, and I just saw a snippet from the next Harry Potter film, I'd be annoyed to miss that. And the last book ...

I'm not ill, but I've already accepted the fact that one day I will die. I don't want to die 'cause I'm enjoying life, but I know it is inevitable and this doesn't bother me. To be in a situation where you are condemned to a slow death by your doctor must be truly awful. This happens to people of all ages every day. If it happened to me now I would accept it........But dear god, why do our children have to suffer?

Personally, I would either spend the defined remainder of my life doing the things I enjoy the most (hobbies, etc.) and spend time with friends and family as much as I can. Either that or I would go a tad crazy and do things that I shall not mention. ^_^

Complete PAnIC! I need to live to do things I want to do. Like I drank 5 cups of espresso. That all I wanted to do is never going to be done! I would panic and then get a heart attack and die.

My mind would go to the saying that was given to me on my last birthday."Life's journey is not to arrive at the grave safely in a well preserved body,
But rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out, shouting ( Holy $hit... what a ride!)".

I would be devastated as still have so much to do but as long as I could be with my family and tell them how much I love them I would then look forward to what is hopefully ahead of me - the eternities where they will be peace and a reuniting with family and loved ones, and equally important to meet our Saviour, Jesus Christ.
