Recommended: Analysis of theories of loss and grief

The most important categories out of the four of death-related concerns are the dying, death or bereavement of someone else. It’s odd that I do not care for my own death and what will happen to me after my death. I am fearful about someone close to me or one of their loved one dying. For example, I am close with my sister, my brother and my sister’s children. You would think I would be concerned with my husband. My feelings with him will definitely change soon we have children – Sh, do not tell him I said this. I am concerned that I will have a hard time coping with the situation and being a resourceful person to them. Overall, it is major concern in this category because it makes me happy to see my siblings and their families happy.

  • The Death Treatment Analysis

    People are entitled to their own opinions, sometimes they think that something is beneficial for a person; however, according to other people it might not be. In “The Death Treatment”, some of Godelieva’s doctors thought that they are helping her to end her agony, and decided to assist her suicide. They believed that there was nothing else they could do to treat her and decided to assist her suicide. In my opinion, the doctors didn’t do everything in their power to help Godelieva; instead, they influenced her decision to do euthanasia by putting their views on her and this is the reason I believe that she should not have been euthanized. There were more treatments available to treat her depression rather than doing euthanasia.

  • Differences in Death

    Additionally, the information that each hero receives is different. Odysseus learns from Tiresias that he will return home but "will find a world of pain at home" (11.132). Tiresias tells Odysseus of the obstacles that will be in his way on the way home and how to overcome them. Further, he is told how to get rid of his curse brought upon by Poseidon. Although Aeneas is also told the future by his father and "of glory in the years to come, wars that he must fight, [and] how he might avoid or bear each toil to come," (6.1207-1210) the type of information contrasts with the information given to Odysseus because Aeneas receives information relating to the rise of Rome and how he will achieve his goal, whereas Odysseus is given information that will purely suit himself. Aeneas also learns of the journeys and purging that a person's soul takes after death before being reincarnated. Anchises explains that when a body dies, "not all the scourges of the body pass from the poor souls," (6.990) so therefore they all "undergo the discipline of punishments and pay in penance for old sins: [they] suffer each his own shade" (6.994-999). This emphasizes the justice system of Virgil's Underworld because each soul receives the punishment it deserves.

  • Personal Impacts of Death

    764 Words  | 2 Pages

    Whereas the prevalence of unanticipated and premature deaths led to pre-industrial cultures to focus death fears on individuals' postmortem fates, the death fears of modern cultures are more likely to focus on the processes of dying. Thus contemporary fears of dying involve the anxieties of dying within institutional settings, where often life is structured for the convenience of staff and where residents suffer both physical and psychological pain in their depersonalization. They also involve fears of being victims of advanced Alzheimer's Disease: being socially dead and yet biologically alive. In sum, the dreaded liminality between the worlds of the living and the dead have historically shifted from the period after death to the period pre...

    This philosophical study will define the good aspects of death that is revealed through the monotony of life over extended periods of time. In my view, death is a good thing because the concept of “self” presumes that I will remain unchanged if I was to live as an immortal. over time, the concept of I would become stagnant, and i would soon wish to kill myself out of boredom. Bernard Williams is an important premise for this belief, since the assumption of immortality usually rests on the assumption of maintaining the “self” over long periods of time.
