Patient began with "What? What the Hell's wrong?" Doc says, "Max, seven months." A total of ten words loaded to the hilt with significance. And you want sugar?
Terrible writing. I think I might have eye cancer after reading that.

Temporary considerations is likely more to the point.
before or when your family doctor tells you it's time. On the other hand, if you mean our immortal souls move on we agree.

More precisely, a citation is an abbreviated alphanumeric expression (e.g. [Newell84]) embedded in the body of an intellectual work that denotes an entry in the bibliographic references section of the work for the purpose of acknowledging the relevance of the works of others to the topic of discussion at the spot where the citation appears. Generally the combination of both the in-body citation and the bibliographic entry constitutes what is commonly thought of as a citation (whereas bibliographic entries by themselves are not). References to single, machine-readable assertions in electronic scientific articles are known as nanopublications, a form of microattribution." (wiki)

[b]"Max, seven months."
Let's say you've been physically active and disgustingly healthy your entire life. You skipped the annual physical required by your employer in 2011. Human Resources insisted that you have the routine check up a week before Thanksgiving. After your family physician walked through the usual inspections of your body he said, ...[text shortened]... tient in view is you? How do you tell the children? What would you do?

Fragile man is but a pawn,
in the greater glory of the Lord.
Your way of life it is torn,
hard to know which way is forward.
I know not which is true, religion or evolution.
No one out there can find the ultimate solution.
But what can you say is the true measure of a man?
Will people say he did the best the he possibly can?
All I know is when you're gone, they will examine you.
Will they say that you have acted true?
Our goal in life is to act with oneness .
I hope to remember you with fondness.

Have a look at my previous post.
I said that the best way to handle it is to be truthful.
Be honest with yourself and your loved ones.
Your immediate family and your extended family.
After that it's a matter of dealing with the situation day to day.
Handling it as best you can. Information is power. Empower your family
to handle all the problems which lie ahead. It's the only right way to go
and to prepare them. They won't thank you for telling them lies
or fairy tales.
