What would you do with only 3 Days?

Asked by Ela (6503points) September 16th, 2011

3 Days

If you were told you only had three days left…
Break down how you would spend each day.

Day 1~ I would spend alone crying. I would be angry and question everything I believe in. I would get a second opinion and go through denial. I would tell no one, especially my children. (I will give on this details if asked)
Day 2~ I would spend writing letters to my children and my sister. I doubt I would write anyone else.
Day 3~ I would spend like any normal day with my children, only I wouldn’t cook supper (we’d order their favorite), I wouldn’t clean or do laundry. I would simply rotate sitting next to them. I’d let them stay up a little past bedtime because I know how much they like that. I would hold back tears the best I could as I tucked them into their beds and do my best to not let them see. Then I would lay in the dark… wait, cry and feel bad that I didn’t spend more time with them.

I think I would only want my two children and husband to be by my side all 3 days. I would have a lot to say and I wouldn’t want to have to spend any time with anyone else. Ok maybe the last day. But the first two, I would want those I feel would be hurt most by my passing and hope that I can find the right words to make things easier on them.

Beg, borrow or steal money enough to gather my friends and my sweetie in my favorite locale where we’d camp, dance, play, eat, etc.

That depends, by the criteria of the question, what happens to you after you die? That would say a lot on how I would spend it.

@Hypocrisy_Central I guess I don’t understand the question. What happens to… you, your body? What ever form of ceremony you have chosen. If you want to use the time to make those preparations, that’s your choice. Personally that would be something I would include in my letter to my sister. It would not be the sole purpose of the letter, though.

I’m not sure how the first two days would go, but the third day would probably end with me skydiving with no parachute, into a mountain, volcano, or if it can be set up to happen, into ground in the middle of Times Square with a film crew recording the whole thing.
I’d probably try to write it off as art or something, when I really just want to die in a slightly more interesting way.

I’d spend them normally without doing anything special. I’d do the same even if someone told me I’d diein only a few hours.

Spend some time alone. Call my closest friends and some family members to say goodbye. Cuddle in bed with my children and husband.

@EnchantingEla What happens to “me”? This body is just a shell, at least how I see it. If I knew I was just going to go “poof” and that would be it, how I spent my last three days would be vastly different.

I’d probably spend all 3 days with family, relatives, and my closest friends.

Probably spend them on acid. This would delay the 3 days to about 400.
