Your Life is about to end by a terminal illness. Are you scared of dying or would you be at peace? If you Don't know God would you begin to live your last days for Him? Would you think of yourself or those who would be left behind?

I've lived with the possibility of dying all my life because of a rare disease I had as a child which may or may not manifest it's self again I was supposed to die before my second birthday. Living with the thought that you might die at anytime sort of gives you a different perspective on life, You realize that most of the issues that you thought might be important really aren't. Things that seem so important today won't matter in the long run. It doesn't really matter if you don't get into Harvard what matters is how well you do in school. It doesn't matter if you don't find the love of your life as long as you love your life. As for God I think that depends on whether or not you really believe in an afterlife. I know people who believe in God and who think that this is going to be heaven on earth if you live your life correctly. If you have anyone that you really love than you have to think about them.Even when I was a young mother in her twenties I made sure to have a will stating who would take care of my children and where my possessions would go. I've always had a living will to make sure that my wishes would be carried out. I wanted to make things as easy as possible for those I've left behind especially my children.

I would be at peace because I do know where I am going, but I would also worry about leaving my children behind. Although I know that God has a plan and that He can watch over them even better than I, I would still worry.

i am pretty much at peace with myself...and am not afraid to die...i've had some things happen in the past two years which have gotten me to that point...as for god...i don't believe in him and would not try a last ditch attempt to know about him or fake believing in him to save myself...i know better...i would be thinking of people i would be leaving behind and try to give them all what they need from me before i go...i would also go to two places i have always wanted to visit...and would take the people with me that need to go with me to have that memory...

I'd go in peace. I have no god though.
