I've been close before, to "losing it all." At that point, I didn't wish I was achieving another great success in my life, that's for sure.
What I wanted more than anything was to touch, to feel emotionally those who are the most important in my life. I wanted to hold them and never let go. I wanted to basque in the joy of their presence without the slightest thought of judging them for their shortcomings.
Then, if the end truly was to come...I would make sure to leave no debts or loose ends that would affect the memories in those I love of my last wonderful days on earth.

It would be tragic to have this knowledge, but to anyone who had it I would say:
Make peace with yourself, with life. Spend time with loved ones. Say goodbye, but try not to grieve. Try to enjoy the last few days. Do all the things you always wanted to attempt but were afraid. What do you have to lose? Write a letter, make a video or have something special to give to each person that matters. Something that they can hold onto to remember you. A special photo etc. Make a will so that your possessions will go to the people you want to have them.
Take a day to appreciate the beauty of the earth. Watch the sun rise. Take a walk in the woods. Sit by the water and watch the waves crash on the shore. Sit on top of a cliff and have a picnic. Look out over the landscape. Lay in the grass and stare at the clouds. Realize that you will be up there soon. You are coming home. Be at one with the universe. Realize that you are not dying. YOU, the soul, the being inside, will never die. You are merely changing form. Like a butterfly coming out of its cocoon. You shed this mortal body and enter eternal life as a radiant soul going to Heaven. Do not be afraid. Be at peace. Meditate. Pray. Ask for strength.
Watch the sun set. Stare at the stars. Reflect on your life. Every wonderful memory. Be happy for them. They are precious. We never know how long it will last but life is a gift. Be thankful for the years you have had.
Do something fun. Ride a rollercoaster. Take a trip. Laugh.
If there is anything left unresolved, if you need to ask forgiveness of someone you hurt, if there are any loose ends, tie them up. Make peace with enemies. Give your love to friends. Be joyous. This is just a necessary part of the life cycle.
Death is not the end. It is a new beginning. We fear it because it is the unknown. You are going to a better place...
God bless...
(I apologize if you are not religious and take any offence to religious references. If this is the case, replace God with the word Energy or Nature, replace Heaven with an altered state of being, a different level of consciousness, another form of energy. You are a bundle of energy. That doesn't die when your body does. Some of you remains. You never cease to exist. You matter. Your life matters. And you will live forever in the memories of those that knew you...)
Make the most of every moment. You can live more, experience more, love more, dream more in one day than some people do in their entire lives. So in those last few days, really LIVE. Appreciate every single experience from sights to scents, textures, tastes. Soon these senses won't exist and won't matter. You will be a formless being. So for now, savour the ice cream cone. Savour the sting of a tear on your cheek. Savour the sunshine on your closed eyelids. Savour the kiss or embrace of a loved one.
We take life for granted a lot of the time. We don't pay attention to all the miracles we encounter each day. Knowing that we are mortal and that time is limited, wakes us up from our slumber and makes us notice everything. This is a gift. Ironically this makes you more alive than anyone, even if just for a few days.
Be at peace...

this may sound simplistic but make every moment count. spend time with the people you care about, do things you like to do and above all get all of your legal afairs in order so your family will not have to do more than try to pick up the pieces.

I would write a letter to all my loved ones and then I would write one to God telling him that I'M COMING HOME!
