If I was diagnose with a terminal illness - I'd be sad for sure because I'd want to be there for my loved ones at every stage of their life, want to grow old, see the world, do things before I'm ready to go. But since this illness happens w/o my consent and beyond my control, what am I going to do?
I'm going to think positive - not going to stress myself out like it's the end of the world, allow my illness to overcome me, to cripple me to enjoy the last moment I still have
Trust in a higher power, God - Absence in the body, presence in the Lord.. When it's time to go home, go -
Count Your Blessing - We're all going to die someday for sure. People w/ terminal illness, at least they know when they're going to die so they can prepare for that day spiritually, mentally, and physically as well as take care of important matters in life, etc.. Versus people that death just come unexpectedly they don't get to do that - thinking they have a long time yet and live their life wasting away.
Spend every living moments w/ my loved ones - say what you want to say, do what you want to do, etc... eat what you want to eat, be what you want to be..
New Philosophy: A quality life is not based on the amount of years you have but what you do w/ it
So, I'm going to make the most of my life w/ the time given
And for him: If he wants, I'll even help him look for a life partner before I go..
These are the things I'd think about/do if I were to be diagnose w/ a terminal illness. But the truth is: I really don't know how I'd react if reality hit.
However, just a little something to cheer u up Khobnaag... take it for a laugh...
