If you know you are going to die soon, would you tell anyone?

Question

Would you tell your friends/relatives/parents/children/partners etc..?

Answer 1

Friends and some relatives, I told work I was going in for an operation and I would not be returning to work and I also told my friends and family what operation I was having. There is no need to leave them with that shock. Give them time to grieve when you are still here that way when you are gone it won't be such a devastating blow. I mean I know you are probably thinking that your wants are not being met but at the end of the day these are people that have to pick up the pieces after you are gone, they have to go on living. You don't.

Answer 2

If you know that you are going to die soon hold you own Wake whilst you are still alive... then you will be remembered for the good times not the bad!!! but i dont know how i would handle loving someone that didnt tell me that they were dying!! i would be devastated when the autopsy came back!!!

Answer 3

I would definitely tell my oldest daughter, and my brother; I'm conflicted on whether or not I would tell my closest friend, but I'm intrigued enough by the question to continue giving it serious thought. Beyond that everyone else would be spared that advanced knowledge. Of course I'm hoping this is purely hypothetical from both your point of view and mine (meaning I hope we both continue to live for a very long time) but it was an excellent, thought-provoking question! Thanks.
