If you died tomorrow would you leave behind something of value? Is this idea important to you?

Yes I would live the knowledge that I have instilled in my children so they can be productive human beings.

I'ed first make sure an organ donation was set up and would be taken care of. Then I'ed make sure my brother would get all my money and stuff and would be taken care of. My funeral would be a party, I would write out little requests of things I didn't have time to do, everything from sky diving to adopting a child, I would ask the people that loved me to pick one and do it, along with something they always wanted to do, then get together a year after I died and share with each other what they did and how it changed them. You're right if we live like we were dying and we take care of the things and people in our life today, not only can we make our life worth living, but our loved ones can help us live on, not only in their memories, but their actions.

Sounds a little fishy to me, however, if it is a close relative or someone they really cared about they might realize that person would be gone forever, and needed that time to deal with the reality of it all.  When my sister died I didn't want to leave her side at the funeral home because I had lost my best friend, and I was so distraught I wanted to be near her as long as possible.

if i knew before i left the store then, yes, i would own up.  if i discovered it after i would not go out of my way to go back.  however, to keep my karma clear i would make sure to do something nice with the money -- not nice like get myself a manicure, nice like donate it to one of those charity boxes or something.

When this flesh dies, the flesh, a vessel made of dust from the earth, goes back to the ground where it came and the soul, our true body returns to The Father who gave it. \nCremation should be an individuals decision.  In my opinion, it all, the flesh vessel ends up in the same place, the ground.  If one, after passing can donate parts that others can use, I believe that's a wonderful gift.  Today with the cost of a funeral and burial, I see no reason not to be cremated.  That's the way I want it. Why give some funeral home all that money when ones family could use it more?  What ever your decision, your family should honor your wishes.

I am about to have a tumor the size of a cantalope removed from my body this Friday.  I also have a mass on a kidney.  I would be leaving behind three great little kids.  I care if you live.  You don't know what you have until there is a threat that it will be taken from you.  When I was younger I admitted myself to a psych hospital for three weeks because I didn't see any more reason to live.  Back then I really couldn't see any future for me.  If I had only known all the good things that were down the road.  Life is a gift and the best is yet to come.   Even if things are tough now, believe me, better days are ahead.  I care very much.  I don't want to die, and it hurts me to think of someone not understanding what they are throwing away.  Please seek help if you are serious.  Your are worthy of a wonderful life.  You deserve good things.  I don't know you, how old you are, what your situation is or if you are just bored and typing this question to see what people say but no matter what your reason for writing, I can assure you as someone facing some scarey stuff, I care very much that you CARE that you live.

you could just relax and enjoy the" whatever you trade for your soul". from what i was told there is a religion it may be "latter day saints" not certain. that get lists of dead people and pray on their behalf for salvation. this could have amazing ramifications,if you haldn't made the necessary provisions for when you met your demize.

Yes. But if you keep it for fear of needing it, you never need it.\n\n♥

i think that would depend on the giver. but generally, as long as it was given from the heart with sincerity and thought, thats all that matters; not its material value.\n\nbut to answer your question, at this very moment, i would say a song, a poem, or an artwork inspired by me.

Don't think so. If you die tomorrow, your pension is worth nothing.

That is a very questionable and controversial topic. Some think so, others do not. I personally just dont know. I would like to think that the family members I have lost are still around. I miss them terribly.

Like What?\n\nDid you "save" it?

Well yes and no as well as you think responsibly.  There are many times that we just live for that momment without ever thinking about the future.  There are so many instances where we "didn't get the chance".  For example, when my father passed away and I always thought I'd have tomorrow with him.  After he died, I always feel that I shouldn't done things differently.  But that doesn't mean go out and do things that are "irresponsible".  For example,  I better agree to have sex now because there may not be another chance. And then whoops...your pregnant or you get the girl pregnant.  Just enjoy life but RESPONSIBLY!!

Never in a million years would I leave it wherever it was when I finished unloading it.  My father taught me better than that.  If it's a place where you have to put a quarter in to take a cart out, I find someone to give it to and I don't let them give me their quarter.  Otherwise I usually drop it in the buggy holder, and I'll take an abandoned one along with me if it's nearby.

I am 58, and in those years I have lost friends and loved one including both parents.  My only suggestion to you is to do what you need to for yourself.  In my opinion this is by far the most important thing a survivor can do.  When my Dad died, I did a number of things.  I was always with the him if he wasn't locked away somewhere safe.  I had my Boy Scout pin buried with him, my Mother gave me his pin.  Scouting was important to both of us.  I flew with him to his final resting place.  I put the first shovel full of dirt in the grave.  At one point my Mother became worried about me, my Brother understood.  He told Mother I was on a mission and would be back as soon as the mission was complete.  You see I am retired from the military and we do things a bit different.  So do what you need to do for yourself, you never want to look back and say "I wish I had done thus and such".\n\nThe important thing to remember is that what you are feeling is perfectly normal.  There are stages of grief as follows:\n\nDENIAL --- The just can't be dead.\nANGER --- Why did they have to die?\nBARGAINING --- God help me get through this.\nDEPRESSION --- Oh God, what am I going to do. \nACCEPTANCE --- OK, they are dead and I am powerless to do anything about it.  I must live on...\n\nOne more story.  When my Dad died I decided to cut his lawn the following day.  When I tried to start the mower, it was out of gas.  At that moment I was absolutely dumb struck.  I didn't know what to do.  I didn't think to look for a gas can, it never occurred to me that I could buy some, and so on.  If it hadn't been for a neighbor, I would still be setting on that empty lawn mower in the middle of the garage with absolutely no clue as to what to do next.\n\nI hope this helps some.  I understand how much you are hurting and I am terribly sorry for your loss.  It will take some time, but rest assured, you will get through this.  \n\nContact information is available on my profile.

You may feel that way today, but what about tomorrow, or next week.  It would be tragic if you took your life and spectacular thing were supposed to happen that you missed.  And what about your family and friend.  That would be a horrible heartbreak to give them.  Don't do it.  This too shall pass.
