As several have said, no one is granted tomorrow. After a few experiences in my own life, I try to live everyday with that thought in mind. For me personally, the biggest parts of my life are my family and the people I love. School, work, and all that other stuff is just fillers and create ways that I can interact with people. I do realize, however, not everyone feels this way. If you feel drawn to spend time with someone as a result of a __ months to live, you will have to make sacrifices of your time and energy that might otherwise not exist. If you feel that you can put off going to grad school to spend time with her without becoming resentful of it, you should do it. If you can't, find ways to show her you care. In fact, sometimes staying in touch with the real world can give people motivation and strength to defy those life ending predictions. It could be possible that you could go to grad school, and keep her inspired about the life of the living with the experiences and stories you share with her.
