If I had enough medication to control the pain I would write my son several letters to open and read on special occasions such as his engagement, wedding day, birth of first child, 40th birthday etc. I would contact all my friends and family to tell them one last time how much I love them.  I would ask Roy to hold me tight and stay with me until I take my last breath. I would also say my final prayers asking God to watch over my loved ones, give them strength and comfort them through their grieving period.

I would call a few people with whom I tend to get out of touch and then read a good book to distract from the pain....I guess.

It's hard to know what I would do. I'm not there.

I would just ask for more PAIN meds and lay down!   I don't want anyone sitting beside me I just want to go!  Remember me how I always was to you! Peace be with all of you!

Call in the troops and tell them where all the "important papers" are, if I haven't gotten around to it yet.  Hopefully, I'll have everything in order before that happens.
Spend the rest of the time with whoever is willing to hang around, and certainly spend time in prayer.

I've asked myself that question many times, especially b/c I did, in fact, have cancer 8 yrs ago. When my late husband was diagnosed with a terminal type of cancer, the first thing he did was have him and me go to a lawyer and draw up a living trust. A will is no good, b/c it goes thru probate and your heirs have a long legal hassle to wait it out. But, with a Living Trust, your estate goes right to your heirs right away. And while you're drawing it up., you also have to pick someone for  your medical advocate and pick someone to be your legal power of attorney.........should you become unable to read you mail and take care of your bills and paper work.You have to pick a secondary person  in both cases for if the first person can't do it.  The first thing I would do now, is clean up this clutter and all this crap around the house so my step daughter wouldn't see it and wouldn't be burdened with it should I die. The house is supposed to go to her.She lives in another state and hasn't seen the house in years.

I would print out copies of my life story which I have saved on my computer and send it to my kids. I truly wish I knew more about my parent's lives before my lifetime.

There are many more things I would do if not for the horrible pain....
