Do you think you know when you are going to die?

I am feeling that way now so am trying to get things in order. Do you think people know beforehand? Has it happened to you before?

Is it just my imagination? (I dont think so).

The day I lost my husband, he was unusually quiet beforehand and I could tell something wasnt quite right.

I have just been home from the hospital and I also feel that I am not okay but the doctors did everything they could before sending me home. I had a stroke, bleeding in the brain, fractured skull from a fall and now a brain blood clot.

I have to get better tomorrow somehow but I am feeling like this is the beginning of the end. Not to be negative but these things do happen as we get older. Its a bit sad but not unexpected.

Oh Macaydia I have just read your other post and I am so sorry. I do hope you survive this feeling of doom and you have people you love around you at this time.

My OH, who was a doctor, had Parkinsons. When he fell over one day he said to me: "This is the beginning of the end." He was right.

I have a raft of heart problems and have been putting my house in order so my family know my wishes in the event of me either becoming incapacitated or dying.

I am so sorry you have been unwell and hope that that you can be well enough now to enjoy life.

Thank you. I am alright and cheerful enough. I just feel that my end is coming but I didnt know it would be so soon. The doctors didnt say anything bad but seriously, how could things improve? Its a "toss up" now.

I am too dizzy to walk much and my head hurts most of the day. This is a very new place I am in, figuratively.

Luckygirl your post about your doctor scared me too. Maybe some people do know. They just dont say anything.
