Just the mere thought of dying causes fear. In just a snap of a finger it can alter a persons life. No one truly ought to view their own death. Visualizing it felt as if it would happen sooner. To come to the point, I am not yet ready. Hence, I was still enjoying this stunning life I was facing. I am still dreaming and desiring. I am not yet pleased with what I accomplished.
According to S. Luper (2014), death is defined to be the omega of life. He direct that being conscious doesn’t literally meant being alive. Dead means a loss of capacity. Advocate of the loss of life claims that if it exists, it is alive; nevertheless, at that instant it is not alive. Believing in the afterlife will be our abundant belief which will build our courage to feel that this event in our life will be our transition to the coming immense step we would be encountering.

Maybe today, tomorrow, or the adjoining day. No one in point of fact perceive. Before this loss of life I will undergo, I foresee to leave my loved ones in a peaceful condition. As a matter of fact, I believe that acceptance would be my best preparation for my morality. Since no one predicts when this purported judgment day will be, accepting the reality can assist my mind set to focus and live this life as if it will be my last. There is plenty of stuff we crave for; a few were inclined enough time to accomplish what we desire before death unfortunately some are not inclined this time resulting in unjust cases that their loved ones seek. Maybe the best action to provide was to accomplish what we desire on the day you are currently living. We always hear the phrase ‘life was unfair’, however, to be much optimistic to this life we have, let us bear in mind that life was fair for the reason that it is unfair to the masses. Our acceptance will be our extensive weapon in this
It roots to our idea of the philosophy of life, in terms of reflection on our existence as humans and not only the contingence but the limitations thereof. Death encompasses the individual’s fundamental existence on the one hand and reshapes our concepts of its nature complementing one another in order to enlighten the idea of it. The manifestation of an individual to herself/himself is made probable by nothingness. The notion of spirituality and death in existentialism.
Death is something that will eventually happen to everyone, but there are so many different ways of people that deal with death around them. There are some people who don’t deal with death well, so they become mentally and emotionally unstable for their entire life. On the other hand, there are people who accept death for what it is and take the necessary steps to become more tolerant to it. In Being Mortal, by Atul Gawande, he speaks about the various aspects (such as the cost of taking care of elderly people) that surround death that people often neglect. Death can be a very taxing area of discussion, but once people accept its cruel nature they can overcome the burden it brings.
Survivor 's Guilt Imagine surviving the Holocaust while millions of other people have perished. Dying people from left to right. You honestly wanted to help them, however you could not. Would you feel the guilt that you were alive while the person next to you did not? Even if you had the chance, would you even have saved them?
He then offers a response to each of these problems. For the first, he states that good or bad things that happen to people do not always occur in their present state and therefore just because they do not directly experience it, it can still affect the person. He then objects to the second problem by saying that even though the person that died did not survive, they can still experience misfortune because if they did not die they would have continued to enjoy their life before their death. Lastly, he objects the third problem and explains that the period of nonexistence before birth does not deprive us of anything as death deprives us of the time we could have been living. He clearly shows that there is a difference between these two periods of nonexistence.
“Death is not the greatest loss in life. The greatest loss is what dies inside us while we live.” ~ Norman Cousins (Singh). Many fear death and will fight tooth and nail to elude it. There are some who embrace death and live life to the fullest.
However, facing death, everything seems to be meaningless, because one would disappear and be forgotten by latter generations.
People’s desires can vary from person to person. Some want power, others want to find the love of their lives. However, getting what we want is difficult. People can go through their entire lives not fully receive their deepest longings. Some desires have consequences that can lead to terrible ramifications.
Secondly, people often fear death as they cannot control it. They try to take hold of almost everything: even their life. We try to control our aging processes, eating habits, romantic involvements. We try to become the Gods. But how can we, if in reality, we do not know anything about the world, our purpose of being here.
but it is already there. And when the time comes, it lays bare its frightful existence. It cannot be averted. It is, therefore, important to come to an understanding with it, in order to live life as a whole. Death is the Other
It does not listen to anyone and it comes when it has to come. Death is certainly painful for everyone. Even a thought of it may engulf a person with fear but think once what will happen if one day all of a sudden you come to know that you are going to die soon because of some deadly disease which has no cure. The mental agony goes to its zenith and later on the physical pain that one has to suffer waiting for death which is heading nearer is just inexpressible in words. Only that person knows the pain
Everyone has to face death. There are some people who fear death because it will take them away from their loved ones and rip them off what they have earned throughout their life, such as money, honor, and power. However, there are people claiming that they do not fear death since they have experienced many wonderful moments in their lifetime. Death sounds so terrifying because it means an end of someone’s life. Reading Epicurus’ “Letter to Menoeceus”, I will argue that a reason to not fear death is that we do not exist anymore after we die.
LOSS, GRIEF AND HEALING As human beings, we suffer losses of many kinds and sizes in our life time. While some of these losses are small and do not hurt much, some are big and hurt deeply. Those that are accompanied by pains that are difficult to bear include the loss of a loved one through death or divorce, cheating or unfaithfulness in a trusted relationship or loss of good health when a diagnosis of a terminal illness is made. In all these instances of loss, pain and grief are experienced and an emotional wound is created which needs healing.
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 feeling of grief may make people feel as if their world is falling apart around them, and they are spiraling out of control. However, this is all a normal reaction when people are grieving.
In Gabriel Garcia Marquez’s 1981 novella Chronicle of a Death Foretold, the narrative recounts the events leading up to the eventual murder of bachelor Santiago Nasar, a man accused of taking the virginity of the defrocked bride Angela Vicario despite the lack of evidence to prove the claim, and the reactions of the citizens who knew of the arrangement to sacrifice Nasar for the sake of honor. This highly intricate novella incorporates a range of literary techniques, all of which are for the readers to determine who is really to blame for Santiago Nasar’s death. Marquez uses techniques such as foreshadowing and the structure of narrative, along with themes such as violence, religion, and guilt to address the question of blame. Although Santiago
