My sister in law recently passed away from a pulmonary embolism, she was only 46 years old, left a husband and three children. Never miss a chance to tell people you love them & do good deeds.
My sister in law always volunteered, attended functions for our kids and offered anyone a helping hand. It was amazing to see the church packed for her funeral and how many people she helped.

think of the future only. No need to re-live the past.

Easy my friend, put your trust in Christ Jesus. Then ask for insight and peace. I’ve had brain cancer and prostate cancer and have leaned hard on prayer. Anyone that contradicts prayer working doesn’t know. I do know and want everyone to experience peace through Jesus.

Gratitude! There are so many things in our life to be grateful for. Focus on the things you are grateful for.

This has been on my mind a lot lately, how life is so fragile and can end any day. Any of you have any advice on how to accept this inevitability and not let it stress me out?
Remembering the finite nature of life is precisely the meaning of Memento Mori i.e., "remember you must die.”
The European practice of keeping on a skull on the desk was to serve as a reminder of the inevitability of death, and therefore, to focus on the spiritual and live life with purpose.
That's why you will often see it in Western artwork:
Make every day count, live it with purpose, so that when it's time, there's no regrets.

Geez what a miserable person.

One day, you and everyone you love will die. And beyond a small group of people for an extremely brief period of time, little of what you say or do will ever matter. This is the uncomfortable truth of life. And everything you think or do is but an elaborate avoidance of it. We are inconsequential cosmic dust, bumping and milling about on a tiny blue speck. We imagine our own importance. We invent our purpose—we are nothing.

Consciousness is what you are. And it is eternal. “Dying” is like slipping out of an old pair of clothes. Nothing more.

Live life.
That’s my advice.
That’s my advice.

If you’re real lucky, you’ll do it long enough to come across the situation I had a few months ago - customer buys a policy after putting it off time and time again. Two hours later, he gets on his motorcycle and dies when someone runs the red light. Boom - success story you get to tell to others all day every day, only for them to assume you’re making it up for a quick sale.

I’d like to close with this: if any of you SOB’s have been my prospects and told me no, I hope you die on your kids birthday without coverage and I hope your wife has to sell the house and move into a rental trailer until she finds a man with a bigger dick to live off of.

I find solace in the thought that I will live on in my children's hearts and memories, as their children will too. This life is not pointless to me. To say so would be a slap in the face to every ancestor that had to survive famine, war, and disease for me to be here today. I am a worthy link in my bloodlines chain and I embrace it and I am grateful for it.

My wife who is a hospice nurse is currently taking care of an 8yr old boy who is dying from Lukemia. It hit hard when she told me about him, because I have an 8yr old son. I can't imagine what that must be like.

"Death smiles at us all; all a man can do is smile back."
Life is most definitely fragile, and you, I, and everyone that has been, is, and will be are a small matter set against the grand scheme of things. Yet, in the insignificance the you that never was and never will be again is here now with an allotted time to do as you see fit. Make it count dude. I'll try to do the same.
I'd recommend taking care of your health, being kind and courteous and conscientious of others but don't get walked on. Find joy in the small things and don't work your life away. And don't listen to Nickleback.

Can’t help but wonder how many posters read your initial post and thought, man, that guy should write a play or something.
