if someone you really really love is going to die within a year, how would you go about appreciating them ot maximizing your time with them?

 

Is the person "normal" as in are they able to participate in normal activities? Then I would probably take a lot of time off from work, and travel to a lot of different places with them.

If the person is bed is tied to a bed, then simply sitting by their bed 24/7 would be really depressing, and would probably do more harm to both people. In this case I would probably visit 2-3 times a week and maybe spend a couple of hours with them each visit.

 

Totally agree. Go someplace they always wanted to go.

If they are not bed ridden but at least have limited mobility, a cruise is a good option. They cater to people who are really old and can't do much. A friend's father was in fairly ill health and he took him on a cruise. He said it was one of the best things he ever did in his life and one of the best times he had with his father, who passed away months later.

 

they are fully mobile
