>When do you let your family and friends know that your terminal?
I think its incredibly selfish to withhold this information. You might not think it is important but many people may have vested interest in spending as much time with you as possible. That's just me. I feel it a disservice not to tell my loved ones I will be going away and not give them a chance to spend time with me. I think it would hurt them more if I had lied and suddenly went away from their lives. Try to live a life to better others' I would say.
>I don't really have any good idea of when to tell people
since you have official documentation, I would tell them as soon as possible. Sit those closest during dinner and let them know- you might want to do it slowly and not so suddenly, in a setting most appropriate.
