HW 17 - First Thoughts on the Illness & Dying Unit

Death is somthing thats universal. Weve all had someone that we cared for die,and all wonder where do they ? is this it ? what is death itself ? . Death is one of those topics that some can discuss very openly, and honest or you can tell in a blink of a moment feel uncomfortable talking about it, they will try to change the subject to some lighter matter or tell a joke. I think you'll find the people who are willing to discuss death with you are people who have thought about death quite a lot.
I think we should all realize that willl all die someday. Some people like to almost live in a imganiry world, where death doesnt happen, But after seeing my grandmother die I realized that death is just as real as talking, walking or hearing.Death is the ultimate realization. When you realize that with death theirs a strong possibility youll disappear completely and forever, and that nobody will remember you.So many people live their lifes wanting to be remembered . The question has to be asked why are we fighting to live if we are just living to die?
Im not sure about any of these quesstions . I have no idea what will happen when we die. Im not sure if are sould are reborn in a different body, or if we get to hover over time and space , or if we simply just dissolve into the ground, or we just disappear. I have no idea but i dont think it matters. What matters is that we get to be alive,what we do while were here. From Jesus to Budda this is what they truly preached its not where we are going but its how we act where we are. The most beautiful thing about death is the realization of life. Being alive we get to be conscious, we get to build connections with each other, and we get to be aware of these connections and to spend a few years mucking about in its possibilities. We get to have a slice of time and space that's ours.
