Steve Jobs refused surgery when he was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in 2003.

Instead, I leaned on what was called magical thinking.

For 9 months, I tried to treat the disease with a vegan diet, acupuncture, herbs, intestinal purification, and other treatments I found online.

He even reached out to a psychic

But his cancer didn’t go away.

Nine months later, when the tumor grew, he underwent surgery, but the cancer had already spread to the liver.

He underwent liver transplantation in 2009, but the cancer continued to spread.

Failure to follow the advice of doctors early became the only decision he regretted living with intuition all his life.

Jobs later confessed to biographer Walter Isaacson.

“I didn’t want my body to open. I didn’t want to be invaded that way.”

In January 2011, he took his third sick leave.

My weight dropped to the 50-kilogram range and I had a hard time even walking.

However, the iPad 2 was announced in March of that year and iCloud was announced in June of that year.

The world was shocked by his appearance in jeans and a black turtleneck with a bony body.

People knew he was about to die, but he didn’t let go of his work until the end.

On Aug. 24, Jobs resigned as Apple CEO.

However, he retained his position as chairman.

I couldn’t completely let go of my work.

By September he couldn’t even get out of bed.

Family members gathered at his Palo Alto home.

Even his first daughter Lisa Brennan, whom he had abandoned as a young man, was here.

Jobs said he was sorry to Lisa.

It was the last time I apologized to my daughter, whom I had never acknowledged in my life.

In his hospital bed, he told his sister Mona Simpson.

“Sorry. For not being able to grow old together as we had planned. But I’m going to a better place.”

On the afternoon of October 5, he stared at his family for a long time and then stared over them.

And “Oh wow, oh wow, oh wow” three times.

That was his last word.

No one knows what Jobs saw at the last minute.

He may have been immersed in Zen Buddhism all his life, but he may have had a moment of enlightenment, or he may have felt wonder in the face of the unknown experience of death.

Jobs, who was about to die, told Walter Isaacson a lot.

“I believe in God’s existence 50/50. There are times when you feel like something is going to happen after death. It might just be the end of it, like the switch goes off.”

Jobs, who passed away at the age of 56, left most of his fortune to his wife.

The funeral was held in a simple Buddhist ceremony attended by only family members.

At Apple’s headquarters, mourners gathered with iPhones and iPads to light candles.

The cruel genius who changed the world eventually returned to being a father, husband, and brother at the end of his life.
