you find out you're gonna die in a week, who do you tell first?

[pres2032]

dammit, it's all redqueen's fault for posting that death website and depressing me. heh, so either answer the question and/or make me happy.


I would of course tell my immediate family first if they were still alive, then my closest friends, but that's probably it.

[smbolisnch]

1. My husband and my parents, siblings. nt

[jellybelly]

2. my dog

[PartyPooper]

3. My lawyer.

[drhilarius]

4. No one, actually.

I couldn't stand being around all these people treating me deferentially because they knew I was going to die. I'd want them to be the way they've always been, that's how I'd like to remember them- happy.

[Deja Q]

5. The one where you are allowed to die of old age and not things like

starvation
no social life
no sex life
getting ran over by a H2
getting ran over by a Mini
having a toilet drop on your head from 500 feet above

and so on?

[pres2032]

6. yeah, the one of natural causes

[JVS]

7. The undertaker

[Occulus]

8. I don't think I'd tell anyone in my family.

Not that I'm intentionally being cold or callous, but... after the horrible treatment I've received at their hands, the final outpouring of "love" and sympathy would be.... um, disingenuous, at best. I wouldn't be able to take it.

9. I don't think I'd tell anyone...

...because, I mean, wouldn't it be fun to kinda leave it a mystery? Give them something to talk about long after I'm gone.

[Elidor]

10. My insurance company

File that paperwork early

[babylonsister]

11. No one. My dad should go first,

and my older bros, so I wouldn't want to inconvenience them. Besides, isn't death your last intense experience? If you could, perhaps enjoy it as much as you can?

[mcscajun]

12. Well, I know who I'll tell LAST...

...the credit card companies. :)

Whoopee!

[solinvictus]

13. No one, actually...

but I'd spend lots of quality time with my little dog.
