Answer 1

Hello there, I was diagnosed with cancer some time ago and to be quite honest had so many horrible things happen at the time (all loved ones died one by one in less than a year, including parents) I think I went into a form of shock as I had no one to help other than exceptional friends I may not be here, but on the whole a warped sense of humour helps and making yourself go out in a positive mood each day I then eventually came out the other side to tell the tale.

In essence HUMOUR thank goodness for that, I have no faith so did not go that route.

Well that's my answer hope it helps

Answer 2

I am answering this as if death is going to occur within the next 6 - 12 months.

If religious, get right with God.

But, we also have to "render unto Caesar." Get your financial papers in order. Make sure your will is current. Review insurance policies, 401k's, stock certificates, etc. to make sure that the beneficiaries are current and correctly named, accounting for births, deaths, marriages, divorces, etc. Get a living will with a durable power of attorney and discuss with your closest relatives how much an effort should go into prolonging your life when events are close to being terminal. Some relatives have difficulty letting go, and the prolongation of a life can be a very expensive and painful process. If you agree, let your relative know you prefer a "good" death.

Start giving away some of your "chattel property" like your grandmother's china, jewelry, art, to people you prefer. Try to anticipate and prevent riffs among your heirs. For other accumulated stuff, arrange for a friend, relative or professional to have a yard sale.

Consider making advance arrangements with a funeral director. Make some charitable bequests.

Answer 3

I do have an incurable condition. I have Lupus - SLE. I live my life like everyone else. Day by day. Granted I take meds and see doctors more often then other people who are healthy but so what. I have my three daughters beside me which is a big help. We know to make the best of every day.

Answer 4

I will pray a lot and ask God not to make me suffer too much. I will also visit my friends, relatives I will say them good bye. I will visit children's and old people's centres and try to help them in whatever I can until I have strength in my body. I'll read all books I always wanted to read. I will go for long walks and contemplate nature and thank God for the miracle of life.
Be strong, life is just a passage.

Answer 5

It all depends on the quality of my life and my ability to control that. If I had an incurable disease, as long as I can maintain a level of independence and ability to function, I will deal with it. However, if I know that the quality of my life will be severely compromised and that my decline will adversely affect my family, I would want to put an end to my life. We allow our pets to have the grace of being allowed to die peacefully at those times but we don't allow it for ourselves. I wish it were otherwise.
