Discuss your thoughts on death. How does it make you feel and why?
Describe the dying person's most difficult experience. What was the most difficult experience for you or one of the dying person's loved one watching the process of death?
One thing in life is Undeniable, Death. Death is viewed by many as the end of the life cycle or the beginning of a new journey. Like there is no certainty in life, Death is also Uncertain. It can come anytime, in any form. There are various ways an individual can die. It can either happen because of natural causes, Accidents, or Critical Illness, or even murder. Death makes me feel sad whether it is someone closely related or someone with whom I had a short acquaintance. Loss of life is always hard to bear because there are always memories or moments attached to that individual. Watching a relative or a friend go through excruciating pain while fighting a terminal illness or battling death is even more painful and saddening. For someone like me who has experienced the deaths of many relatives, It always breaks my heart, every time I hear the news of someone dying.
Deaths can happen because of various reasons. Among these, The ones happening from incurable diseases or road accidents are some of the most difficult experiences for the dying person. Not only they are fighting for life but also fighting the never-ending pain because of the above-mentioned causes. On top of that, The dying person is also feeling remorse because they won't be able to see their family and friends again.
Seeing a close relative die because of Cancer was one of the hardest things I have ever witnessed. The pain they had to suffer because of the illness was hard for the person experiencing it as well as for us, The family members who could do nothing except watching. According to me, Deaths from natural causes are less painful for both the person dying and the family members. Because death from natural causes usually happens when a person is in deep sleep. My reason for this statement is that in such deaths, The person doesn't have to deal with extreme pain, which is like less saddening to watch.
