Tough place to be, I think.

However I have seen people spend so much time trying desperately to live (usually out of fear) that they actually miss "living their last days in the best way possible" (your quote) I believe there is time to let go. It is of course different for all of us. Fighting losing battles are in my opinion not worth it. Thanks Greg for your comment, Actually I am a fighter too!

You're right, of course, that we all have these feelings and it's probably healthy to acknowledge them. But I think we have to come up with a reason to live and fight towards that. Or at least live the last days in the best way possible, given whatever the circumstances may be. I'm not saying it's easy, but I think it's the way to go. I’m in the “fight” crowd.

You make a good point. Acknowledging feelings can keep them from taking over. When you fight against something you give it power. Accept the worst outcome but focus on the best Really nice article.
