Your Last 24 Hours

You suddenly feel sick and are rushed to the hospital only to be diagnosed with a rare disease that will leave you only 24 hours to live. The doctor gives you an injection to enable you to move around a bit. The question is... how would you spend your last 24 hours? What would you do and why?

Aside from above if you found out that the disease you have could infect others how would that affect what you would do for the last 24 hours.

Wow, that is a difficult question that makes you decide what's important to you and how important to you these things are. Heh, I was like 'I know what I'd want to do-' until I saw the infection factor.

I think I would either have a video broadcast of myself to my loved ones done or have them visit me, separated by a clear wall or something. If anything, I'd want my boyfriend, who loves me as much as I love him, and my best friend, who has sacrificed so much for me so that I would never be suffer alone, to be barred from the room. Why? Well, I know them. They'd want to touch me- like try to hug and comfort me in my last moments.

I don't think I'd stop crying; it's the selfish part of me that would want my family to see my tears and mope about how they couldn't even began to imagine my suffering. Another part of me would smile all the time and always whisper words of encouragement; I would hold strong for the others.

, I put too much thought into this... *hides*

Your Last 24 Hours Health & Special Psychology

I would spend the 24 hours with my husband. I wouldn't leave his side, he is my life and my soulmate. Should the disease be contagious I know that he would still be by my side, I know there is no way that I could stop him and frankly I wouldn't want to. That may be selfish but that's the way I feel. The only other thing I would do is to call the people who I care about and tell them how I feel and say good bye.

pooeh, that is an hard question. I can't imagine really what I would do then.

But Knowing that you're going to die in advance is not pretty nice. I would have preferred not knowing at all. How can I enjoy the last day with my family if I know it is the last day?

I would have probably said my goodbyes and go back to the hospital - being with my friends and family more would only increase my sorrow.

Well if I were not contagious, I would gather my family and friends around me. Especially my family. I would tell them how much I love them. I would share my testimony of the Gospel with them. I would tell them not to grieve me but go on living and make me proud. I would hold my grandson as much as he would allow. I would kiss him and kiss him and kiss him. I would rub his back because he loves it so much. I would read him a story. I would tell my son I loved him. I would tell him I expected him to be strong and make me proud of how his lives his life.

I would tell my sister (the one from whom I am estranged) that I love her no matter what because I do.

If I were contagious, then I would make a video to my family and friends to say all the things I would like to say in person but couldn't. If I couldn't have my family around me, it would be much more difficult emotionally to die.

Your Last 24 Hours

The thing is that once you die you stop suffering but the loved once don't... This would be my main concern. Spending the last day with them I do not think will do them any good. I know it sounds crazy but I want them to remember my as I am now:full of life an kincking ! I do not what them to go trough such a day...
Second , being the last day you can not enjoy anything (even if you do something you wished all your life) so do something that somebody else will benefit from. I would put myself on a list of donors (if the think would not be contagious ofcourse) and try to really help someone to change his/her life in better ( it is very possible especially if you don't have anything to loose )

Your 24 Hours

I would spend half the time in a studio, recording all my music (especially religious music) for my family and friends, so they have a lasting statement of my beliefs, coupled with some results of my life's work. Then, I would spend the other half with my loved ones, talking. I don't think I would even tell them I was dying - it would make the conversation unnatural, almost meaningless.

Your 24 Hours Psychology Special & Health

I would probably ask to be put in a special room at the hospital and they can provide me with the things I need to create a video or if the place is advanced enough, there are special suits that my family could wear that will allow them to stay with me and look at each other and remember the great times we have spend....
