60 minutes per hour 2
(quantity x quality)
Interconnected set of concerns
Time is running out
How much time or when death will happen?
Will this mean I die alone?
How long will this pain last for?
Is this what my death will feel like?
If I can’t have a future
What to prioritise, hold onto, or sacrifice?
If death is inevitable
Will I have an afterlife?
