The death of A.G was very harmful for my family, specially my mother. A.G was very loved by everyone in our family and his death came as shock for them. He died in an accident when he was young. For a long time it was very difficult for my mother to speak about A.G. She would always cry when she talked about him. After many years she learned that talking about him actually helped her. When I read this saying I felt sadness for my mother. It reminded me of the importance of speaking of our loved ones that have passed away. For many year I saw my mom suffer the lost of A.G in silence, I would purposely avoid the topic so she wouldn’t cry. As I got older my mother started healing that lost by telling me stories about A.G. I understand that there is nothing worse than not speaking of the death. In order to heal, you need to remember and accept your lost.

Alan Rickman Considered Being the British Giant of Stage Dies at the Age of Sixty Nine Years
As a 25-year-old adult, consider myself on the younger spectrum as far as biological age. However, I am being reminded daily that I am getting older. I no longer can recover from a workout as rapidly as I used to, I require more sleep after a night of staying up late, there are no more “all nighters”, and I have recently developed pain in my joints and spine. As you may have noticed, all the reasons I have listed above seem obviously negative. This is exactly what I am hoping to get out of this class. A positive perspective of the aging process. I have noticed when I pay attention to the physical aging process my body undergoes; my brain is focused on the negative changes and instead should be focusing on what my age has given me over the years. I am hoping, through taking this class, I will expand my knowledge tremendously on the aging process and begin to switch my way of thinking to a more positive one and begin living a better quality of life as the years pass.
