Hell I already know pretty much the number of years , NO man in our family has made it past 85, so if an illness or accident doesn’t take me out first, 85 is the golden number.
I think it would drive me crazy!!! I had a friend who had cancer & the doctors told her to get her affairs in order because she had less than 6 months to live. She died 8 years later. She was afraid to go to sleep at night for fear that she hadn’t done everything she should have done just in case she didn’t wake up the next morning. That would make me insane!!!
I’d think it would help to give us incentive to live our life to the fullest though!!!
The greatest gift is to get to choose the way you will die. It will not be immediate but relatively soon. Even though, you wouldn’t know the exact day or hour.
I’m at the age where death is fairly eminent. I have made peace/accepted that my life is nearing its end. The one thing that bothers me is HOW it’s going to end!!! We are born to die. The second we take our first breath, we are working towards our last. I just have NO desire to learn HOW I’m going to leave here!!!
I can’t speak for everybody, but I would have mixed feelings about knowing when I’d die. I think I would be good at organizing and time management, however.
