Patricia Briggs, one of my favorite authors, wrote in one of her novels: “Death isn't a tragedy to God, only to those left behind.” (Briggs, n.d. n.p.) Everyone dies. That is a finality that we as humans are incapable of ignoring. The death of a loved one is a difficult to deal with regardless of how it happens. Everyone will lose someone or something to death, it is unavoidable. Someone important to me died when I was around seven or eight years old. One hot summer day, while my mother and I were out running errands we got a phone call. Riddle Hospital’s emergency room called to tell my mother that my grandfather had fallen outside of his home. He had broken his hip during the fall and was stranded outside for many hours in the hot

    “Lives of the Dead” is a short story written by Tim O'brien. In the story he writes many important life lessons about death and the death of people cared about by the narrator. O’brien writes in a way that makes sense to people and makes people understand a little bit more about what death may be like. Because nobody actually knows what death is like, a lot of people get interested by it, he writes about it in a way that seems like it wouldn’t be scary to be dead as long as the people are remembered. “Lives of the dead” teaches that it’s ok to grieve, because stories can save people and when people are dead there almost dreamlike, it teaches about what it's like to lose a loved one, and it teaches about holding onto hope.

    Each death that I experienced were all different in their own way but all have one thing in common. Everyone that is in involved with grieving for an individual agree takes time. Everyone does it differently whether that is talking about their death or crying maybe screaming in many cases I’ve seen. One thing I’ve learned is we must accept it and if we are mad or sad we must first understand the death and the emotions that may come with it. I begin to understand it is part of life and everyone is going to die someday.

    When you hear the word death or you hear that someone has died today in the news or on the television I know a lot of people think “Man, I feel sorry for the family that they have to go through that.” or they thank god that it was not them or their family members.” Sadly though people try to push away death and push away the fact that everyone dies at one point in time. This is even truer when they witness their own family member in the hospital with a critical condition that the doctors cannot fix even with modern medicines on the doctor’s side. Another such time would be when a person’s family member is diagnosed with an incurable sickness that is fatal.

It was Sunday night, I was sitting in my living room arranging my 12 pack of brand new sharpie highlighters, which I was thinking about sharing with my friend Monday morning at school.

  • The Importance Of Loss: A Natural Sliver Of Life

    741 Words  | 3 Pages

    Loss is a natural sliver of life, and it is a part which is very upsetting – may it be losing something tangible, such as a lucky charm, or something abstract, such as innocence, or perhaps the most excruciating: losing a loved one – losses are frequently unpleasant. Fortunately, I never had to undergo the painful process of losing someone I cared about. The funeral services I have attended never warranted any feelings of utter sadness, but instead, the type of grief which spells “I wish I knew you better.” Although lately, reality has been slapping me hard on the face; I share a special bond with my dad, but I can never seem to erase from my mind that one day he might be gone, and it does not help that he has been having morbid dreams. Growing older, I get more difficult challenges thrown at my feet every day.
