    I believe in mortality. Even if you turn to ashes...your spirit will come back. So do not be so pessimistic.

I would make sure that all my affairs were in order: burial plans, wills, music/pictures to be played/displayed at my funeral, etcetera. I would write a bunch of letters to be sent every year for five years after I was gone letting my family know how much I love them.  I would spend every second of three months doing things with my family: big vacation, board games, hiking, dinner together every weekend and gather as many photos as I could and put them on a hard drive. I would then disappear. I would take off for parts unknown. I do not want my family to remember me as anything but happy, healthy and full of love. I would have post cards sent from my last location ten days after I had left. I would then arrange for my last postcard to be sent the day that I died so that the family could have closure.

I'd travel as much as I can.  I'd throw a big party with all my loved ones so I could thank them and say good bye.

I would probably be selling and donating everything I have that is of any value. Then, any money I got, I would go jump out of a perfectly good plane!! LOL! Yeah, not going in depth there. :P

It's hard to say what you would do, I would cry then ask the Lord to heal me, if that is his will and then the rest of the stuff people stated.

the posibility of this scares me! I handle pain so poorly. I would probably skip chemo as i have no reason to prolong the time. If i ever got over the fear i would probably spend my last days in some form of service if able

My mother passed away from Breast Cancer. It was horrible seeing her suffer like she did. Treasure every moment you have on this earth.

I would go to a lawyer and have a final will drawn up. Then I would give each and every family member a list of end-of-life instructions like whether I would like my organs to be donated, if I wanted to be buried or cremated and things like that. Then I would try to live out the 6 months doing whatever I wanted to accomplish in life before death like if there was someplace on earth I wanted to travel to or something I would like to try just once like jump out of an airplane with a parachute or something like that. I would also eat anything I wanted without worrying about gaining weight.

Agree - would do a lot of the same things

Buddhists believe you ought to live as if every day were your last... Make the most of your last days... God put us here for a purpose.

Make the most of each day until I am gone. I tried and do this right now because you never know. I think more people should think that way.
