Only 30 Days to Live

Suppose you learned that you only have 30 more days to live starting with today. What would you do in those final days of your life? How would you prepare your family? Give us details.

Wow Chuleta, 30 days, this is a tough one. I will have to reply back again because this will take some time to think about.

hmm, Being that I was a Hospice Rn for several years, first thing is to make amends with God and ask for his forgiveness, for me that is the most important 1st step. Step #2 would gather my family, friends and be honest with them about my illness. Ask for their forgiveness regardless if they were at fault or not.Make sure everything financially was taken care of. I would try to reassure them I was going to be fine because after all when we are part of God's kingdom we will be healed, happy and in his loving arms. I would spend as much time with my family and friends that my health would allow but would welcome them with open arms in my home. I would live a video for them giving them details for my funeral and my will. I would write or record memoirs for my children and grandchildren, this way I would leave a part of me with them. Infact I have already started a paper online for my grandson, it has details about me,advice for him and information on our family. Those are just a few things to start off with.

First and most of all I would communicate with GOD and ask HIM how HE wants me to spend the next 30 days. I think HE would want me to witness for HIM.

Then I would definitely spend as much time as I could with my children and grandchildren.

I would go fishing to the places I used to go to that I still think about.

And I would dance and dance and dance!

I would say like Amado Nervo

En Paz
Muy cerca de mi ocaso, yo te bendigo, vida,
porque nunca me diste ni esperanza fallida.
ni trabajos injustos, ni pena inmerecida;
porque veo al final de mi rudo camino
que yo fui el arquitecto de mi propio destino;
que si extraje la miel o la hiel de las cosas,
fue porque en ella puse miel o hieles sabrosas;
cuando plante rosales, coseché siempre rosas.

...cierto, a mis lozanías va a seguir el invierno:
!más tú no me dijiste que mayo fuera eterno!

hallé sin duda largas las noches de mis penas;
más no me prometiste tú sólo noches buenas;
y en cambio tuve algunas santamente serenas...

Amé y fui amado, el sol acarició mi faz.
!vida, nada me debes! ! Vida estamos en paz!

First of all, I would make peace with my maker and thank Him for all the blessings he has bestowed upon me. I would thank him for giving me the children and grandchildren that he helpe me raise into respectable and caring human beings. I have my will and documents already in order, Then I would spend as much time with my loved ones and let them know that I have peace in my heart. But before that I would ask God to give me the peace which I will need to make the transition from life to death.

I would have to absorb it in my mind. Get use to the idea that this is it. Death has really caught up with me. I'd lived a good life and have no complaints. I will thank God for giving me my life and cry a little knowing he is taking it back. But most of all cry for my children that love me and will miss me. I'll think of the things they will have to go through cause I want be here and they will. My children will cry when I tell them and I'll try and comfort them and tell them one day I'll see them again in Heaven.
