Death and dying is one topic that is very familiar to me. I have experienced the death of my Grandfathers, Great Grandmother, uncles, aunts, close friends and many patients that I have cared for. In some aspects death is a God sent to some people because they are no longer suffering and you know now that they are in peace. In others ways death can be very traumatic because perhaps someone’s life ended too soon. No matter how much you experience death and dying, no death will affect you in the same way. One thing about death that everyone has in common is that it is inevitable, everyone will die someday. The one thing that I truly feel passionate about in death is that no one should have to suffer. I have been a nursing assistant for

Nobody wants to die, leaving their family and missing the good times your loved ones will have once you pass on. In the Mercury Reader, Elisabeth Kübler-Ross “On the Fear of Death” and Joan Didion “Afterlife” from The Year of Magical Thinking” both share common theses on death and grieving. Didion and Kübler-Ross both explain grieving and dealing with death. Steve Jobs commencement speech for Stanford’s graduation ceremony and through personal experience jumps further into death and how I feel about it. Your time is on earth is limited one day you will die and there are many ways of grieving at the death of a loved one. I believe that the fear of death and the death of a loved one will hold you back from living your own life and the fear of your own death is selfish.

    Each year, we all pass and celebrate the special day in which we were born and were given life. However, we also pass the day each year that we are going to die and with the essential difference being that we do not know the exact date to commemorate. Poets write about death because since there is no answer to what truly happens after death, they can write about practically anything and not be wrong. From reading and exposing ourselves to the topic of death in writing, we are able to gain knowledge of how other people perceive death, and compare it to our own opinions. While reading about death, you should come into it with an open mind because the possibilities about what you’re going to read is endless, and always will be.

    Much of the pain of death for the living comes from a sense of loss. It marks an end to all the possibilities both for us and for the departed that might have been realized by a longer life. Overall even though death is a sad thing it is part of the reason I am the person I am today. It has made me realize that I need to develop stronger relationships now so I don’t have any regrets if they had suddenly passed on. I have found out that I can’t make amends for anything after a person is gone.

    Everyday people face the tragedy of losing a loved one. Though in the end they must all come face to face with cold hearted death, none wish to experience it, especially at a young age . We all wish it would never happen, and we all like to imagine ourselves and others as superhuman, invincible. When a death happens and it doesn't directly affect us or our own little community, we are shocked, maybe even for a day but never reflect on it for the rest of our lives. We see death in movies and across the world news , but yet we almost become desensitized to it. No one can imagine death or grasp the concept of death, until death is right in our face staring back at us, sending a cold shiver down our spine. It is then that we begin to feel that coldness of death we never would have thought we would ever have to feel. Some families that have this experience grieve for the rest of their life and stay in a deep, dark, long depression, and still try to make sense of why it happened to them. Others see it as a sad time, but pick themselves up relying on religion to help them in there time of need. Very few seek the help of a psychiatrist, due to the fear of ruining their reputation as a person, or for their family seeking the help of a doctor. Even when we see it happening to another family we feel sorrow but perhaps not as much as we should.

  • Argumentative Essay On Fear Of Death

    1428 Words  | 3 Pages

    Death is not something human beings have a fundamental understanding over; there is no person who is born with an innate comprehension of what happens when we cease to exist. We live our lives, day-after-day, not knowing what is to come when the only thing we have ever known comes to an end. So we fear death, cowering in its shadow. Ironic isn’t it? After all, death is one of the only certain things in life, yet we despair it. When I was a young boy, even I knew of death’s overwhelming presence in the lives of humans. Yet, I had never experienced death first hand, so I suppose even I feared it just as everyone else did. I believe that humans are fundamentally conditioned to be afraid of dying; likely because we usually fear that which we do

    Death cannot positively impact your life. When my grandfather passed away this summer, I had believed that. Lost in the foreign state of Washington, consoled only by my distant relatives, I learned of his afflictions. For a while, I bathed in numbness and could not seem to understand exactly what mortality was. I would wait all day to receive another update on my grandfather's health, only to be disheartened by the news. Anxiety riddled and restless, I wandered the world with sunken eyes and a quivering voice. Despite being unrelated by blood, I had known him most of my life. He was dying, and although we had never been close, I felt like a part of me was dying with him. Afraid of losing a loved family member, I prepared myself for his departure.
