Dammit, I’d be desperately trying to avoid dying, forget ‘tying up loose ends’! However, if you’re going down the Bruce Joel Rubin accept-your-fate route, then in order for the story to more than a melancholy study in inevitability, those ‘loose ends’ have to be MASSIVELY IMPORTANT.

She’s going to have to, I dunno, get her best friend off drugs, save the life of her brother, prevent a serial killer striking at the strip club, and preferably all three; change the world in some significant way. Otherwise, the fact that she knows her date of death is near-irrelevant; this might just as well be a ‘dying of cancer’ story. The intervention of supernatural forces in a story demand big stakes. (Weird comparison, but look at the scale of the stakes, for the whole town, in It’s A Wonderful Life…)
