When my grandmother past away, I was in denial I didn’t accept it, nor understand the fact that she was gone. Without a doubt the right of understanding and being aware can help be prepared to face all hard situations. This difficult chapter of my life made me aware that anything can happen to anyone and made me understand to accept things as they are. As difficult as situations may be we must understand that everything and everyone has an end in this world. We must be strong and face our pain with effort, action and mindfulness. Experiencing the death of a loved one was extremely devastating for me. It isn’t something most people encounter in their life, but since I did I definitely learned from it. Caring, loving and cherishing unconditionally those you love is important, letting them know you love them is crucial. We should also live every moment of our lives as it were the last because the next second we may not be able to. Losing a loved one definitely makes you stronger; everything else that happens seems painless. Lastly, I learned that the pain we perceive over the loss of a loved one never heals it we simply learn how to live with it and the acceptance of their our lost only comes with time. We shall embrace life, our loved ones and every moment

    Death is an unavoidable event that will eventually happen to everyone. Some days may be easier than others and life may feel like it has returned to normal and other days, we feel helpless. (Johnson, 2007) Dealing with the loss of someone never gets easier. Facing painful memories, confusion, heartache, and loneliness are all common reactions when it comes to loss. There is no right or wrong way of dealing with grief. Some feel the need to take it out on others, drink the pain away, or just simply wanting to be left alone. (Huffman, 2012) Those are only part of a short list of possible coping tactics. It all depends on the person and the loss they are going through that sends the griever down different roads trying to reach acceptance. Also, everyone has a different attitude towards death. Some accept the fact that people do not live forever and someday we all will die. Whether its old age, a car accident, suicide, or the misfortunes of being killed are all life ending possibilities. Some believe there is no life after death or that once a living thing dies; it cannot be brought back to life. All of these examples will be based off of the environment in which one has grown up in.

  • Kahlil Gibran's On Death And Dying

    1076 Words  | 3 Pages

    When first receiving news about the death of a loved one, the normal reaction is shock and denial. No one wants to hear that their father, grandmother, or uncle had just died, and according to Kübler-Ross, one way people cope with grief and loss of a loved one is denial. This means that a person may try and hide from the facts and block out what others are trying to say. That person might deny the reality of the situation and have thoughts like, “He not dead, that’s impossible. He was doing fine just yesterday” or “This must be some kind of mistake.” Denial is a defense mechanism that buffers the immediate shock that comes after hearing such news. It is difficult for the person to accept the fact that someone dear to them is no longer with them, so they rebuke the truth and instead choose to avoid any type of encounter that forces them to face the truth and reality. This even extends to avoiding thinking about the situation. Gibran sta...

  • Analysis Of The Four Noble Truths Of Buddhism

    656 Words  | 2 Pages

    Dukha is by definition the first truth that preaches realization that suffering is universal, one of the most important teachings in all of Buddhism. It is translated into an understanding that everything in life is conditioned, temporary and independent from other functions of living. Anything is justified as beautiful because it is dukkha, meaning at some point it will come to an end. This has taught Buddhist followers to appreciate the qualities of life by cherishing and not taking anything for granted. It is often misinterpreted as a negative form of appreciation, seeming as though there is no acknowledgment for an end. However it is supported by further philosophies to appreciate what life has to offer by “living each day as if it were the last” (unknown). The third Noble Truth is referred to as Nirodha, the ac...
