Remember to honor and acknowledge those who matter to you the most

Take some time to be with your people. You might not want them to see them crying, but knowing you have limited time, one thing you can do is to be with them while you are still around. Talk about the beautiful moments you have had with them. Those moments will be your greatest gift to them when you are gone. They can look back and think that you have spent your last days with the people they loved the most. And that, you left happy and full of love.

Look back and reflect on your life

You might have a lot of failures and losses, but count those thousands of wins and successes. Be grateful and celebrate your life. Nobody could have done better, but you.

Write an ethical will

Forgive those who have hurt you

Forgiveness means releasing the past, a willingness to let go of the anger and resentment we hold onto for people who have wronged us. It is the ability to see the person for who they are now, instead of who they were then. After forgiving someone, there is this powerful feeling that you have finally let go of this negative emotion. Pretty sure, the people you forgave feel the same way.

Take a moment with your loved ones to say goodbye

You can arrange your own eulogy. It allows your family and closest friends to say their final words while you can still hug and kiss them.
