Deep Communications Monnogue In My Deepest Condolences Monologue

Painful as it may be, such experiences brings home the finality of death. Something deep within us demands a confrontation with death. A last look assures us that the person we loved is, indeed, gone forever.” (108) Cable finishes his essay by asking, Tim if his job ever depressed him. Tim in reply says, “No it doesn’t, and I do what I can for people and take satisfaction in enabling relatives to see their loved ones as they were in real life.” (108) After reading this essay I feel as though sometimes we don’t understand death so therefore we do not talk much about it. By reading about what goes on after your loved one dies and is sent to these places to be prepared and ready for burial, it helps to understand why morticians and funeral directors do what they do. Knowing that someone enjoys taking the responsibility in providing that comfort in a sorrowful time makes me appreciate these people in these occupations a bit

Nothing beautiful in this world brings light to his life now, ever since his brother’s spirit left the earth. Death is a tragic event in anyone’s life, and poet W.H Auden expresses his feelings of hopelessness in the poem, “Funeral Blues.” This poem expresses the feelings of misery and depression after a loved one dies, and promotes the idea to not get fooled by love because it never lasts- once it’s gone, nothing is meaningful anymore. Auden uses alliteration, imagery, and metaphors to express the sadness that he lives with everyday of his life.

Death is a topic that unites all of humanity. While it can be uncomfortable to think about, confronting death in unavoidable. “Dying” addresses that discomfort and universal unwillingness to consider the inevitability of death. Pinsky’s use of imagery, symbolism, and tone create a poetic experience that is like death, something every reader can relate to. In “Dying,” Pinsky describes how people are oblivious and almost uncaring when it comes to the thought of death. Pinsky is trying to convince the reader that they shouldn’t ignore the concept of death because life is shorter than it seems.

Death is a controversial and sensitive subject. When discussing death, several questions come to mind about what happens in our afterlife, such as: where do you go and what do you see? Emily Dickinson is a poet who explores her curiosity of death and the afterlife through her creative writing ability. She displays different views on death by writing two contrasting poems: one of a softer side and another of a more ridged and scary side. When looking at dissimilar observations of death it can be seen how private and special it is; it is also understood that death is inevitable so coping with it can be taken in different ways. Emily Dickinson’s poems “Because I Could Not Stop for Death” and “I Heard A Fly Buzz When I Died” show both

When a loved when is gone it feels like a hole in the world. With much grief he says, “Never again will anyone inhabit the world the way he did. Questions I have can never now get answers. The world is emptier. My son is gone. Only a hole remains, Avoid, a gap, never to be filled”(33). This phrase describes his emotions and how he views the world without his son. The author gives advice on what to say to someone who is mourning. He says to never say its Ok because its never okay and death is awful. “ What I need to hear from you is that you recognize how painful it is. I need to hear from you that you are with me in my desperation” (34). When some passes away no one really knows what his or her loved ones are feeling because each death is unique and each person is different. The wisest of words don’t even make the pain go away, and all that can be done is lending an ear to listen, a shoulder to lean on.

     For those readers who have had personal experience with death and those they love dying around them, this passage is especially depressing. It is also

In addition to burying their dead, most people take time to remember the ones they have lost. Grief from losing a loved one can make a person lose focus on living a healthy and good life. In Mary Elizabeth Frye’s poem “Do Not Stand By My Grave and Weep”, the voice from beyond speaks to his

This story is a great reminder that death is nondiscriminatory and inevitable. This story not only reflects the events in his personal life but it explores the ways in how certain situations help shape people’s actions and emotions (Caldwell par

“This world is full of sob stories. This worls is full of things that if you thought about them too much would ruin you. It's full of people whose lives go wrong, through reasons that are out of their control sometimes or being in the wrong circumstances...being in the wrong place at the wrong time. This is just like any other tragedy. When you were young you might not understand that as well but when your older and you've seen so much of this, then you kind of become numb to it... and really the only way to deal with kind of thing emotionally; is to just go about your life as you would normally. It's so hard to try and feel somthing every single time you learn of a tragedy because if you do you'll never stop being depressed.

This quote sticks out to me because it's from the point of view of Death, the narrator, and actually shows he has some sick, but intelligent way of showing sympathy to corpses. It’s sickening to think that Death appears during happy measures, then takes the souls. I also think this quote shows some true aspects because if someone knows they are about to die they want to appreciate their family for being there for them and loving them and that how happiness is spread until their heart gives out.

The loss of a loved one can be indescribable, but fortunately Thomas and Smith’s combined understanding of death, has given readers a beautiful insight into that painful world.

The poem that I have selected for this essay is “Talking to Grief” by Denise Levertov. I chose this poem because it talks about grief. It also talks about the place that grief should have in a person’s life. The poem describes grief, and compares it to a “homeless dog.” It also describes how a dog deserves its own place in the house, instead of living under a porch or being homeless. This poem talks about how a person can be aware that grief is present, but that it is not always acknowledged and accepted. We all experience grief in different ways, and for different reasons. Everyone deals with grief in their own personal way. This poem describes a point in a person’s life when they are ready to accept grief as a part of their life

With every great video game there is always a final battle as the same goes with every great movie there is always a great ending, the same goes for life as long as we live our lives although not always long but anyways amazing life sadly must always coming to an end even the beautiful flowers in your garden or a new born puppy that is just born, that’s why people try to tell you to live your life to the fullest extent. In the poems “Death be not proud”, “Because I could not Stop for Death “and “Death of the Ball Turret Gunner” all highlight different deaths and each having there our unique symbol and importance.

What I hope to accomplish in this chapbook is to portray a message to the people who may have lost somebody close to them. I want to let people know that death is part of life, and even though it isn’t something you can understand now, I promise it will get better for you. Just know that when I say these things I am speaking from experience. This chapbook may not only help you, but by creating it, I was also able to give myself peace and assurance.

People would not want to hear that their loved ones merely gave up and died passively. This poem in itself is a celebration of life, the poem is not only about death but it is an affirmation of life. To further emphasise the points being made Dylan Thomas utilises a wide range of literary devices. Parallelism is used from lines seven to fifteen to juxtapose the different attitudes of the so called “genres” of men at their death. This is used to outline that if you continuously lead one set type of lifestyle whether it is as a “wild man”, a “grave man” or a “good man” you will not be satisfied when your time comes to die. The only true way to be satisfied is to live a life of balance; only with a good contrast can you be at peace.
