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

Father, I intercede, according to your will, on the behalf of Elijah. That he will come into the understanding of your ways and how to walk in faith through all aspects of his life.

I visited your grave for the first time today, it’s been 3 months. I’m sorry I didn’t attend the funeral, I know I was in hospital but I felt like I should have been there anyway; they could have wheeled me down. They had to sedate me you know, when I was in hospital. I was hysterical and nobody would tell me what happened, they wouldn’t tell me that you had died. You shouldn’t have died.

Creaking sound of the door to kitchen, followed by rhythm made by the wok and ladle.

We, as humans, often get involved only with the issues that affect us or our environment. Furthermore, sometimes we do not see what is happening around us that affects the rest of the society. The article “Drugs are killing so many people in West Virginia that the state can’t keep up with the funerals” by Christopher Ingraham discusses the fact that in West Virginia, the amount of deaths caused (mostly) by overdose has increased so much in recent years that their indigent burial program has ran out of funds to cover funerals for people that do not have the funds to pay for

To my beautiful wife Hallie Baxter, you have saved my life by giving me purpose and perspective. When I think back about the time I was sitting at that bus stop bench in japan, and you messaged me that day. I didn’t know what to say at first, but as time passed and our love grew our wedding day finally came. I knew when I looked into your eyes that day I found the other half of my heart. Never in my life have I gazed upon someone so kind, strong, beautiful or smart. You have stuck beside me through thick and thin. Without you I would have never laid eyes on our beautiful daughters face. I don’t know where I would have ended up without you. But I know I am grateful to be with you every sec of every day. What I’m trying to say is that you taught

Socrates is given one chance to defend himself before the jurors and avoid death or, worse to him, prison. One would expect Socrates to use this opportunity to convince the Athenian men of his innocence, so that he may live out his days as a free man, yet in his Apologia (defense speech), he decides instead to prioritize something before his life. Because of his inclination to better the populace, which he supposes will improve the city as a whole, Socrates, during the defense speech, attempts to enlighten the men before him and to reveal to them the true nature of things, with somewhat of a disregard for how the jurors will digest his words and cast their vote. He feels that he plays an important role in promoting intelligent thought

Tuesday, September 12th wasn’t any normal day, it was a day of remembrance and sadness. Everyone in the family met at the church at 10 a.m., we then sat there and socialized until eleven o'clock. The preacher, pianist, and singer then walked out into the chapel where we all sat, with emptiness in our hearts. The pianist then started playing a church tune, and the singer, a lady from the church, started singing. Some of the people in the family then glanced at each other and tried not to laugh at the horrid sound of the lady. After she finally stopped singing, the pastor walked up to the casket. He then said, “Bow your heads, We stand here today to honor Robert F. “Bob” Williams.”

“Adam Jones had only lived 23 years of his life and been married for 3 days. A good man has been taken from us. At this time, would Avery Jones like to say a few words?” The pastor said. Avery didn’t know how to react to her husband's death. She has gone into deep depression. Her response was, “No.” she knew that if she were to say a few words that it would completely break her heart and she would never recover from her loss. All she could say at the funeral was, “Goodbye,

Today was funeral day. My mom’s funeral. It was a dark October thursday, the clouds were brewing a storm. A slight breeze disturbed my neck. My uncomfortable suit sleeves bellowed in the cold breeze.. I hadn’t felt any emotions since the day of her death, which was weeks ago, almost as if my emotion is grey. It was warm then, as my mind was too. Nowadays, up until today, my mind has been a dark fog, as if my mind was released into the sky, darkening everyone’s day, arriving at my mom’s funeral or just to cuddle up with their friends and family in front of a warm crackling fire, telling the stories of their childhood and how times were better. Not me, my dad usually ignored me and he only worked on managing my mom’s fortune. Yeah. My mom’s

My dad married his high school sweetheart, Lisa Malee Erickson, on February 5, 1993. He had joined the Army Reserve and left soon after they were married to attend basic training at Ft. Leonard Wood in Missouri. I'm his first daughter, Christine Brianne Hill. I was born May 26, 1993, while he was in training. Daddy was given leave to come home and see his new baby daughter, but had to return just two days later. He completed his training two months later and returned to his wife and baby. He adored Christine and would not be without her. I was looking at pictures and talking to my mom, she said she remembers him sleeping with Christine on his chest. (Insert letter from Ryan to Christine) Dad was always very supportive of us kids.

now. The only thing I can do now is pray and hope. To pray that I will

Over the past several years, I have worked closely with Beth and she has been a tremendous help to me. She took care of me at work by doing all the little things that needed to be done and made my job/life easier. Besides doing her job, Beth is a great listener and she cares about the people she is working with. She will be sorely missed on the second floor. Enjoy your retirement, you deserve it!
