The first that comes in my mind is: he lived 70 years, born and raised in a rich country, he had a lovely family. He had a good life reason to be happy and he should start thinking about others with less luck like him, E.g. children dying to underfeeding, genetics diseases, war, etc.

He’s dying and writing about how he feels about it. It doesn’t bother me that he has his own death at the forefront of his mind.

Agreed, it's not like he would all of sudden have time or resources to solve the aforementioned issues so what would be the use.

Either use your expertise and skills to make as much meaningful impact you can or just take the time off and enjoy what you have left. Both are fine to me.
