When you see a loved die or watch them dying, only then do you release how short life can be and whether you've truly enjoyed it. All kinds of questions pop up in your head,"Have I got enough memories?","Have I really found the love of my life?","Have I really lived this life how I would've wanted to?". Do you feel the same sometimes? This usually occurs mainly after someone's death. My grandmother died of cancer and this question had come into my mind while I mourned. What are your opinions? And if you could the course of your life, what would you have changed?

I believe that life is short and that you should live it to the maximum, if you want anything then buy it, if you want to go some where then do it. People should just do these things rather than just talk about it then when its to late regret it.

That's true I know a guy who used to work in a factory he could have retired early but he stayed on to boost his pension then 3 Months after he finally retired he had a stroke and ended up disabled and was wheel chair bond. So all those extra years in work were wasted and could have been spent with his family he even admited that he wasted his years and regretted it.

You're very much correct. A lot of people these days think way too much about the future, and don't bother to live in the moment. Isn't today as much a part of our lives as tomorrow?? Everyone wants to 'enjoy life' later. Why not do it now??? What is the guarantee they have that they will be around to enjoy life 'later'??
Something just come into my mind that i should cherish what i owned now and it is really important for us to live in the truth.Life is short and therefore,i've found the real goal of my life and i wanna realize it and realize my value for life.

Sorry to hear of the loss of your grandmother. It's never easy to lose someone we love, the best thing you can do is remember her in the ways that she made you laugh, the good times you spent together, and know that she's in a better place where the cancer can no longer cause her pain as once she arrived the cancer escaped her body.
I often think that I should have visited more often, I should give my all to the relationships I am in, do I have any regrets that I should repair? All kinds of questions go through my mind and each time it comes down to Am I happy what can I improve on so when I go I have lived a fulfilled life.
