During the many weeks I have spent on the Heart Floor in the hospital(my 2nd home)! I have had several discussions with patients that told me pretty much what you typed in your post. They had a set number of days in their life on earth.
I was raised a Catholic and went to most of my school years in a Catholic School. As I got older and began to see the variables in the beliefs and practices, of the Pastors of different Parishes! I thought why in my parish this is not allowed, but my co-worker that lived in a different parish, it was allowed.
I had a cousin who was a Catholic Priest, and a good friend that played in my hockey league, was also a Catholic Priest. This friend performed the services at the funeral of my youngest sister, who died of Cancer when she was just 52, in 1989.
I am not a non believer, as I do believe in a higher power, or belong to any religious organization. My belief is live a good Clean and charitable life, and respect others as your expect from them.
Even 1 of my closest friends used a varient of your theory/belief, but he tailored it to fit his, not so healthy lifestyle. Similar to those I had discussions with during my long stays in the hospital, most days unrelated to my 2 heart attacks.
His theory/belief was similar to yours, in that he believed as you, we are only here for a set number of days, and he could not change that. His lifestyle I am sure was/is different than yours, but he believes in the "set number of days".
He is about 3 years younger than me/played hockey and raced cars with me, and we worked the exact same job(some days side by side)for 15 of my 33 years with the same company. He is still living and his lifestyle caught up with him, both health wise and fitness wise. His mobility is minimal in comparison to mine, even though he has never faced life and death, as have I several times.
In short, I do not. I could go into many examples where living by/with that theory/belief, it can be, and is, detrimental to many that are healthy, and more specifically to those recovering from a near death health issue.
How exactly does my friend or others using this theory, know exactly when they have met/meet that set number of days. Is it when you know(think) you are dying, or when you are unconscious and have no idea what is going on?
With my 1st heart ❤ attack, with which I also suffered, what can be considered deadly, Aspiration Pneumonia. I was awake most of it, and had no reason to believe I was not going to die. Met "set number of days" had expired on/for me.
I won't going into what it took to mentally and physically took for me to fully recover. What I will say is this. Had I believed in your theory, I would not typing this 19 years later.
If those reading this don't get what I am saying, maybe some may not have been as close to death as I was back then, and several times after that day of July 05, 2003.
