If life is to be shortened, then why not be with the one you love. I think if you life is coming to an end then you should let by gones be bygones and try to live out the rest of your ife as happily as you can. The family would also like to spend as much time with this person as possible. If someone could not handle it that is their choice but they should be given the chance to make that decision.

I would spend as much time with my husband and children as I could. trying to make each day that they had left with me as happy as could be. So that once I wasn't here anymore they would have happy memories of me to last the rest of their lives.

My fleeing away itself is burdensome to them . On top it if they discover that I am going to die away from them they will be more hurt . This wound will be more burdensome for them that the burden of nurturing me on my last days . The later will be more physical than mental and the former will be more mental . However , in such circumstances I would better choose euthanasia.

I think I'll still continue to go on... finish those unsettled business, do what will make me happy. I don't wanna think more about my illness but the time I will spend it. Maybe I won't just tell anyone that I am sick cause I don't want to give anyone a burden or to see anyone cry or being depressed. Maybe I will spend it with my love once. I will learn to forgive and forget what made me sad. Yes I will take the consequences, I 'm just human and I'm not perfect, and I can make a mistakes. I don't wanna conclude. I'll face it even it will hurt me more. Have a nice day!

I think if you are badly ill, you must stay with your family and loved ones. They would be far more hurt if you ran away without spending time with them and saying goodbye. If you don't have much time left, it would be so important to spend it with the ones you love. They are going to suffer anyway - so at least you should give them the chance to say goodbye. If you have run away because of a disagreement with your loved one, now is the time to make things right with them. It might be hard, but it will be worth it for all of you.

I'm kind of torn between my answer. I'd rather be with my family, but part of me wouldn't want them to have to go through the pain. I think the nice and proper thing to do is to die at home. It makes sense to me, but part of me would run away mentally.
