It is a real blessing when people wake up and they are sure their friends and family are with them. One cannot compare the feeling when no one is missing to any other feelings in their lives. However, in this world everything can be expected, besides death. Death is a story that changes worldview, creates different mindsets, destroys lives and blurs future. Furthermore, it makes people realize that alive time is not permanent and everyone is here for a short time. So, what they should do is to love, respect and take care of each other. People should spend most of their times with their friends and relatives, since sooner or later someone will leave them, keeping only memories and the impulsive feeling of longing. As a child something devastating happened to me, which left its substantial mark on my life.
From the early stage of my childhood, I made a strong friendship with my neighbor. We were born on the same day and spent approximately 14 years together. During my childhood, both of my parents were full-time employed and I was the only child in my family. I lived with my grandparents who encouraged me to spend time with my peers. So, nearly all of my weekdays I spent playing with my friends. During my early childhood, I did not have many friends. In fact, my neighbor was my only friend with whom I enjoyed my time. I remember

I could remember her pale face, thin and weak body and closed eyes. She was not able to breathe anymore. My best Friend passed away. Now, with whom I was going to ride a bicycle? Who would help me to build castles form stones? I was alone, alone with memories that will never leave me. At the age of 14, I was hurt. For upcoming months, I spent almost all of my time thinking about her and finding ways to meet her again. But it was useless, she ended his alive times. Now she is resting in peace while people are thinking of her, telling her story and encouraging people to love and take care of each
When death occurs everyone is heartbroken and they try to give their condolences to the affected family. In The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian Arnold states, “When it comes to death we know that laughter and tears are pretty much the same. We said goodbye to my grandmother… Each funeral was a funeral for all of us. We lived and died together”.
In most cases, when reading a book about death, one thinks that the book is going to be extremely depressing. A tragedy filled saga of despair, sadness, loneliness- that people can’t wait to get over with. This is the same in real life as well. People think of death as a sad thing that people don’t want to deal with because of its scary quality, and overall demoralizing aura. In “The Book Thief”, Zusak, paints a different version of death, that apart from its fellow more depressing counterparts, death isn’t near the most tragic part of the story.
Death is not so light a concept as to glance off of those it does not take. Oftentimes, when death claims someone close to you, it seems easy to fall into a lethargic pit of despair, contenting oneself only to dwell on the morose incontrollable nature of the universe. I know I felt this way, especially with the guilt laid upon me with the death of my brother. I do not claim to know anyone else’s grief, or to know the best way for anyone to deal with the loss of such a beloved girl. I do know, however, that “when you lose something you love, faith takes over” (Tan 2166).
We grew up together being by each other sides and doing most things together. Of
Death is a recurring theme in this book. Not only is death explained as being sad, but what is kind of weird is how death can be seen as sort of a happy thing. Dying, in general, is sad. But the whole ordeal of it can bring people together, or fix relationships that have been broken. In the case of Tuesdays With Morrie, by Mitch Albom, Morrie and Mitch were separated due to the fact that Mitch cared more about his job than the most important things in life; love, work, community, family, aging, forgiveness, and the main theme, death.
Neal Shusterman once said "Death must exist for life to have meaning." And although some may strongly disagree with this and see death as the exact opposite, I agree with Shusterman. Death plays a large part in someone's life, causing depression and grief. This could change a person tremendously by adapting to life without that loved one and becoming more independent. In this way, death can be positive.
“Death is not the greatest lost in life. The greatest loss is what dies inside us while we live." -Norman Cousins. Emotional death can cause someone to not notice something that are happening around them due to them being around it so much. In the book Night by Elie Wiesel, Wiesel and his father are deported and relocated to different concentration camps.
Death is a very difficult topic to just move on from. It’s a longing pain, which is difficult to imagine. Living a life without someone you love is the worst. And being able to move on from that is even more difficult. In times like WW2, where thousands of people were killed, it made many people forced to move on.
The short “At David’s Grave,” by Denise Levertov talks about a deceased loved one that is with them while being at the cemetery. David is around them in the “open field, in sunlight, among the few trees,” (Levertov). He is only there because they are there with him, and whenever they leave he is with them, going with them as the good things that come. To live their lives with happiness and the joy that comes with living life each day. They know that he is never alone at the cemetery, never laying in the field filled with cold graves.
Mortality, while mostly known as a rate for people, is a theme well shown between many different stories. Mortality is something everyone experiences sometime in their life, whether that mortality be on them or on a close person to them. This causes people to react differently to what is happening, some may be rational, others may be irrational. Within these stories there are ways that the people that come face to face with death react, some may be calm, others terrified. We find the people that cause this to happen do this for some reason that allows for them to have a personal gain in their lives.
Everyone deals with the loss of a loved one in their own separate ways. In my life, loss is what has shaped me into who I am today. Over these seventeen years, I have gone through many losses in my family: an older brother to suicide, an uncle to colon cancer, a grandmother to a heart attack, however, there is one loss in particular, that has changed me in more ways than one. Every summer my grandfather
and I were best mates! We did everything together! We were top class students, we had a great group of mates and we had a loving and caring family to go to each night. One Friday night Jack and I had a sleepover at my house and we were going to have a star wars movie marathon!
Humans learn about the simplicity of their lives and how easy that life can end in a blink of an eye. The constant thought of death is crushing and makes life seem pointless. Humans start to realize that there is nothing they can do to truly escape death, and death starts to be a big part of their lives. It surrounds the world in all aspects of life. Truthfully, it is tough to go a day without seeing, hearing, or thinking about death.
Losing someone you love dearly is one of the hardest things anyone can go through. Sometimes it hurts so bad that you may yourself, “What’s the point of being here anymore?” I ask myself that question all the time, ever since my Grandmother passed away. April 22nd, 2016, was a very emotional experience for my family and me. The day started off like any other day for us.
The Art of Letting Go Have you ever tried of loving someone so much but chose to let that person go? I think that’s the perfect question for me to say “Absolutely yes!” I used to love someone so much that is long distance to me and to the extent that he means the world to me. Exaggerated, right?
