Personal Narrative: Let's Talk About Death

180 Words1 Page

Yes it helps. It just when you emailed me the second time for whatever reason it started to make me think about death. I just found it weird that I was in a hospital went on the elevator and saw a priest then went to a completely empty chapel with no mass coming and another priest walked in. I use to go to a church where a priest told us that even if we came to church every Sunday, but let right after we received communion, instead of waiting for him to tell us to go in peace, then we were going to hell. Never went back to that church again. Talking about can really make me go all over the place. Oh thanks for the app now all I see is your mug on my cell phone. I did read what you had to say about yourself and it is not true. You enjoy spending

    After making this book I don’t feel the slightest bit more comfortable with the concept of death. If anything, this book has caused my aversion towards my own death to grow. However, I believe that this book has allowed me to become more accepting of other people’s death. It was Slaughterhouse Five, in particular, that helped me the most. The idea that everything happens at once allows the dead to live on in the past, even though they don’t have a future.

  • Analysis Of Christmas Carol By Irvin Yalom

    Interesting thread, Irvin Yalom believed an awareness of onus’s death begins the stages of anxiety (Yalom, 1980). Irvin Yalom believed individuals had the right to choose and make their own life, which clashes with the wish for free choice and external structure, so Irvin Yalom states, "we demand meaning to our lives yet we are thrown into a universe that is cosmically indifferent to us" (Yalom, 1980). Either way, a professional counselor would agree that speaking about death provokes fear of dying and anxiety surrounds that so yes making helping an individual solve their anxiety is the best solution and sometimes confronting the facts is the best solution. A Christmas Carol movie is the best suggestion to help individuals sometimes in assisting

    This was one of the best field trips I've gone to in all my schooling. I think more people need to do field trips and tours like this because it opens your eyes and shows that funeral homes aren't this scary place where bodies go, and scary things happen. I love how open and inviting they both were, when my first grandpa died the funeral home wasn’t warm and inviting like they made it. One thing I learned was ashes were only bone. I've never seen ashes before so I thought it was everything and ashes looked like ashes from a fire pit.
