Many of us want to be remembered when we pass away. For most, the best way is through an obituary. Almost every day, there are numerous obituaries submitted to many newspapers, such as The New York Times. There are brief obituaries submitted by family members in which the said deceased individual played a major role throughout his/her life (whether it be charity or a major work accomplishment) and there are longer obituary articles written by reporters, usually on a well-known individual. When looking at those two kinds of obituary articles, there are many similarities and differences.

The Depiction of the Moment of Death When many people talk about the moment of death, many things go through their minds. The most common emotions that people feel at the time of their death are loneliness and the fear of the unknown. “The Jilting of Granny Weatherall” by Katherine Anne Porter and “An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge” by Ambrose Bierce both explore the theme “Death and Dying”. However, they differ in terms of the main characters, the things that cross their minds at the moment of their death, and the way they died.

With all this constant news coverage of how someone was killed or they have taken their life, society has grown to see the common death article showing on their news feed or on the front page of a newspaper. However, the book points out “Look, Brás these people need some closure, and that’s why the obituaries are so important. Without this they can’t really let go”

Human life narrative is incomplete without talking about grief. Man goes through moments of mourning and grief when faced with terminal illnesses, death of a close relative or friend or animal. We respond differently when faced by challenging situations, some will outwardly, in tears when thoughts of the experience runs in their mind while others will hurt from the inside. Our role is not to judge how a person griefs (Axelrod, 2014, p. 1) but rather to offer support in these moments.

The death of a close relative, especially a new born child, is a very terrible life event that tragically affects parents. Grief and desperation preoccupies parent's souls and it takes a long time to recover from such a loss. However, communication between the couple is very important factor that stabilizes the relationship. If this factor is missing in a couple's relationship they will not be able to recover from this tragedy, and it will have further negative effects such as separation and stress. The poem, "Home Burial", is a clear example of how the couple could not recover from the loss of their child due to the lack of

The death of a family member is an inevitable occurrence in one’s life. A person will not have just one single reaction or coping method to a loved ones’ death.

Countless human beings build bonds with other individuals throughout their lifetime. Once the bonds are broken as a result of death and dying, majority of the human beings will go through a period of mourning. There are multiple aspects that can contribute to the way an individual mourns the death of loved ones, however, gender plays a leading role in the human being’s reaction. I am going to show this by examining the natural stimuli, historic stimuli and social stimuli.

In view of that, no human being should be judged by another individual’s personal experiences (Kahane 49).

Obituaries states a person’s life by profiling their grand events and contributions. Yet, they lack the emotional connection that demonstrates who the deceased truly was while living. The obituaries tell a story, giving the deceased’s loved ones the final act of life – closure. Does the description of the dead describe who they were in person?
