Professionals asses that Dad has approximately two weeks left to live — a dead line.
Thinking about deadlines I think about what all must I do before that time? What must be prepared? What must get shipped? Who must I connect with? Is what I’m doing good enough? Have I met spec?
Thinking about a “dead line”, I see lots less certainty. When will this time arrive? How do I plan before the time? Does it make sense to cancel what I have now? Should I keep it? How do I communicate to others? Will they understand?
The anxiety of the end.
