That's exactly my point. At least that way I wouldn't get to feel the pain knowing that the ones I love were gone and I'd feel a bit of comfort that they would never be put in a situation full of pain all just because I am gone. It's selfish but if I have a choice that'd be it, too.
If Mia stayed u should too. We were all given a life that we should live to the fullest.
Well ive learned that if there is at least a tiny bit chance of life, then we should take it, because thats life. but i totally get the point about your future with them, its sad but youve got a life ahead so take the advantage you know?
When I read the book...I couldn't imagine how hard it would be to stay. My heart ached for her choice. And I'm fairly certain I would opt to be with my family. I'm a strong Christian so it's not death but "transition" in my mind. Still, I think Mia was mega strong to stay. And I applaud her choice. [thanks for a beautiful book!! I'm not a YA, but I loved every tear wrenching moment]
@Gayle, you say "with my husband and kids". What if it was your daughter in such a situation? What would you like her to do? I know I would like my child to stay. Stay, grow old, grieve, and of course remember, but nonetheless STAY!
I would stay. I mean, I would have my whole life ahead of me and I would have Gran and Gramps to help me through the tragedy. And Kim would definatly help me. I would also have Adam and we could tour together. But my point is that I would have my whole life ahead of me so, yes. I would stay.
'Dying is simple than living' I guess I would want to go with them , what would be the point of living anyway without the people you cared about.
However, from experience, separation from loved ones doesn't mean is the end of your life.Life always gives wonders just as how it takes wonders from us.In buddhism they say 'Everthing is Impermanance ', So we shoud also see this life as Impernance,separateness,etc
I would stay. There is more to life than just sadness. I would stay and grieve over my family members for as long as I need, but at some point, i would get up and start to live again.
I know life has a lot to offer and my family would be proud to watch me achieve my dreams from above.
I would stay because then I could finish my life and be with my other family and friends and actually grow up all the way. I would get to have kids maybe and maybe get married. Then when my life is actually over and when I don't have a choice then I would end up with the family that has died. I mean I get that you would miss them a lot but you would see them when you die later in your life.

I would take the easy way out and leave. I know that I'm young, but without my family, I am nothing, most of my other relatives are very old and are about to die anyway so I would have nothing here.
