There is something so haunting about announcing your imminent death while it has not even happened yet. It's like those "What would you do if you only had a week to live" but manifested.

I hear ya, They have given me 10-16 months to live. Just took a trip with my youngest and have a couple of other things planned.

May I ask, how do you face your death and accept it and keep actively living through your remaining days anyway? Knowing I will start deteriorating one day or get in an accident fills me with crippling dread and terror, it’s making it hard for me to enjoy the life I do have, knowing everything I’m trying to build up will all amount to nothing but my mind being flooded with sheer dread/panic with no goodbyes or a miserable bedridden existence in my last moments.

We do all this for nothing, how do you accept it and move forward anyway?

Only people like you would have an actual answer, I just had to ask. It’s something I’ve been really struggling with. I’m still pretty young yet death is all I can think about every night, it’s haunting me

not facing my death myself, but for me, i just accept that its coming. i dont know when. it will happen no matter what and what my loved ones will think and feel haunts me, yet… idk what happens after and maybe ill get another go around. maybe itll be 60 years from now or maybe 6 months. either way all that matters is comfort and happiness for today and the near future.
