Context:Yesterday I went to visit a friend of mine who has a terminal illness . He 's known about it since he was a teenager but just recently told me about it a few months ago because his last doctor 's visit he got the news that his due date is getting pretty close ( he wo n't tell me when ) . He already got his finances in order , liquidated his savings , investments , and pretty much anything worth value and donated it to various museums and charities .
Question How might my friend 's action after the doctor visit be described ?
Answer:
He was able to accept the news and then responsibly took care of his financial affairs .
