If you knew you had only a month left of life, what would you do?

Question

If you had no limitations, and you knew you were going to die in exactly one month from now, how would you react? What would you do? Would you make any changes? Would you mend, or break bridges? Would you travel to a far off land, or stay at home? Would you be a sinner or a saint?

Answer 1

Oh, Doug you took my answer.... I have a lot of things I haven't done yet. This question stopped and made me think, if I died in a month, I would never get to graduate high school or go to college or start a family or find a cure to diabetes. I guess I would put a front for my family so they wouldn't have to feel the sorrow for a while, and I would greive by myself when I was alone. I would go to France, I would go to Guadeloupe, I would back to Maine and say good bye to Karalyn, especially though I don't like her. I would offer an olive branch to my worst enemie. I would have a day for all of my friends. I would finally get baptized, even though I am a Christian, I haven't been baptized yet. I would get published in the newspaper. I would sing a song on stage. I would do everything I have ever been afraid to do before. I would live so that people would remember me in a positive light and remember me fondly, and without any regret.



Live Like You Were Dying
by Tim McGraw
He said I was in my early forties
with a lot of life before me
when a moment came that stopped me on a dime
and I spent most of the next days
looking at the x-rays
Talking bout the options
and talking bout sweet time
I asked him when it sank in
that this might really be the real end
how's it hit you when you get that kinda news
man what'd you do
and he said

I went sky diving
I went Rocky Mountain climbing
I went 2.7 seconds on a bull named FuManchu
and I loved deeper and I spoke sweeter
and I gave forgiveness I'd been denying
and he said someday I hope you get the chance
to live like you were dying.

He said I was finally the husband
that most the time I wasn't
and I became a friend a friend would like to have
and all the sudden going fishin
wasn't such an imposition
and I went three times that year I lost my dad
well I finally read the good book
and I took a good long hard look
at what I'd do if I could do it all again

and then
I went sky diving
I went Rocky Mountain climbing
I went 2.7 seconds on a bull named FuManchu
and I loved deeper and I spoke sweeter
and I gave forgiveness I'd been denying
and he said someday I hope you get the chance
to live like you were dying.

Like tomorrow was a gift and you got eternity to think about
what'd you do with it what did you do with it
what did I do with it
what would I do with it'

Sky diving
I went Rocky Mountain climbing
I went 2.7 seconds on a bull named FuManchu
and then I loved deeper and I spoke sweeter
and I watched an eagle as it was flying
and he said someday I hope you get the chance
to live like you were dying.
To live like you were dying
To live like you were dying
To live like you were dying
To live like you were dying

Answer 2

I believe I would get my affairs in order, so I wouldn't leave someone else with that burden when I am finally gone. I would take the news well, because in my heart of hearts, I know we live forever and ever amen. God promised everlasting life, and that is what we will have. I would let those closest to me know my situation, but I wouldn't go out of my way to spread the news. I know I would like to stay home when I die, not off somewhere others don't know, or care about my body. I don't believe there is such a thing as a sinner or a saint. I think people merely ARE. They are just being OBSERVED. Without Judgment. It wouuld be as if you were watching one of your children grow and learn... Would you love them any less for making some mistakes...I think not... You would love them WITHOUT conditions.
That is the beauty of life as well....we never really die...we just change form.

Answer 3

I don't know.

I can only imagine that I'd try to keep it to myself, or just a few people that I know. I don't feel like any bridges in my past need to be mended. I certainly wouldn't go on a bloody rampage out of rage.

Answer 4

No limitations would mean i could save my self and the rest of the world. Other wise, a lot of family time.

Answer 5

How would i be absolutely 100 percent certain that i would definitely die in one month There is no way i could know that.Doctors have been wrong before .People have had miraculous cures when they should be dead .Therefore your question is meaningless.

Answer 6

I'd read a good book and talk on the phone a lot. I'd have sex a lot. I'd spend it with my family and friends hearing there reckonings with me and forgiving myself for my life.

Answer 7

be with my family and have fun plus go to some foreighn countrys

Answer 8

I'd probably stay right here and do exactly what I am doing

Answer 9

would tell all those I loved how proud I was of them.... would tell them this is my last hoorah...and do my thing...I'd be a lil of both

Answer 10
