Posted January 15, 2015 NNG, you have my sympathies, for what they are worth. Back in November of 2013, a close relative of mine lost her battle with Ovarian Cancer. I echo the words of those who have told you to "get your affairs in order". While I do not practice in the Wills and Probate areas of law, if you email me your cell number and a good time to call you, I'd be happy to talk to you if you need any assistance or referrals in that area. My EMAIL is: NicholasNUtah@hotmail.com - needless to say, no charge/cost whatsoever for the time I spend on this. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted January 15, 2015 Recently I was given an expire by date of less than 6 months from my cancer battle. I haven't been able to be aroused in months so going out with a bang is not going to happen for me. So what would you do knowing the amount of time you have left? My condolences. I always wonder about the wisdom of knowing the full diagnosis. Be that as it may, I would: 1) Stop living with the diagnosis as much as practical/possible (for starters, prediction is always difficult, especially if you involve the future and you're not your disease); 2) Get my affairs in order. That's not just paperwork. It's relationships as well. (Nothing says f-you like punishing your heirs and others from the grave); 3) Try not to regret that I didn't fully live my whole life like I was dying; 4) I don't think there's much on my bucket list any longer but perhaps imminent demise would change that. I'd tick off what I could; 5) Devote what remained to some sort of service to others. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted January 16, 2015 I'm sorry to hear that. As for myself, I would spend as much time as possible with my family. I wouldn't look to check anything off my bucket list or worry about what I didn't get a chance to do, I would just spend as much time as I could with the ones I love the most. I would also get all my affairs in order and make sure they know what to do with me when I pass. Speaking from experience it is really hard on the family when everything is not taken care of and when no one knows what the wishes of the deceased are. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
