My consultant keeps telling me sudden death could come at any moment.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I always know I can die at any moment.
A death from a long illness is very different from a sudden death. It gives you time to say goodbye and time to adjust to the idea that the beloved will not be with you anymore.
I have been unexpectedly confronted with my own mortality as I was told that I had cancer.
I mean some doctor told me I had six months to live and I went to their funeral.
To me, it is like a diabetic with insulin. If that diabetic stops taking insulin, they will die, and I believe that if I don't follow the 12-step programme, I will regress, and that could eventually be the death of me.
Death always seems to be around me.
I know mortality exists, but I cannot do anything about it. So it does not make me anxious.
You know, I've never actually really believed that death is inevitable. I just think it's a rumor.
You cannot schedule death.
It is not death, it is dying that alarms me.
