Sounds like simple advice, I guess. Not much you can do beyond that except live life to the fullest so that your wife wouldn't feel awful that you never got to do this or that.
I don't think it's a matter of what would happen to my loved ones. It's more a matter of what the hell happens to me? Does it just end? Game over?

I'm actually getting a little creeped out just typing this...

I do appreciate everyone's thoughts and contributions to the thread. It's funny, cause I work at a bank in a mall. Ran down and bough 'Tuesdays With Morrie", as I was kinda familiar with the movie, and have always had it in the back of my head to read it.

And I kinda got a chuckle due to the morbid nature that Reaper posted in this thread. I enjoyed, and took what I needed out of the post, but still, kinda sick, in a funny way.

Please, keep sharing your thoughts. It's nice to know I'm not the only one going through this, and that others have coped with the same thing and moved on.

And for what it's worth Syl, when I think of my dad, and questioning how much time I have left with him, I think and sympathize with your situation. I know dealing with death of loved ones should make someone stronger, but it's deablitatating (is that even a word).
