Cozy coffee shops, warm summers, friendly hugs…1.2.3. Disastrous events occur all the time. We are always aware that someone, somewhere in the world, is hurtling forwards into tragedy. Tragic endings leave behind unanswered questions, unfulfilled dreams, unspoken thoughts. Those who love you are left behind, in the dust of your presence, spent to forever remember only your memory, not your existence. Crisp slices of toast, piping hot cups of tea, fresh strawberries…1.2.3. We all tend to forget an end exists. We spend our lives compiling as many happy memories as we can, fully enjoying the good days, deeply mourning the sad ones. When tragedy strikes, only then are we reminded that the end is there, and we scurry and try once again to make the most out of

Death is something that many people fear and many people face. Most people do not know exactly when they are going to die, but being given a sort of idea of that can change the way someone thinks and acts drastically. Death is in escapable. Everyone must die eventually, some young, like my friend in fifth grade who passed from being in an ATV accident, and others old, such as my 15 year old cat who recently passed.

Please, oh please let the words come. I sit, and stare, and type, and I backspace. No one will like it. My work is crap. Crap, crap, crap. I crumple my paper watch it fall. The clock taunts with its ticking reminding me of all I want to forget. It creates a beat; a song. Poetic chords and dismal notes ring in my ears. But no, this is thought I should avoid. I am great- better than great. People will love this. Oh please, please, please let them love this. Will my legacy amount to nothing more than abysmal hope? This is the last time I think of it. Oh please don’t let me think of it. The blank page stares at me and I begin to write. One word, then another, then another, and another. You will never know what comes out onto the page until it is

Death is an inevitable fate for all living beings. It’s an aspect of life that can be hard to deal with, and the ability to overcome the fear of this unavoidable event can be difficult when it comes to knowing the reality of your fate in an

I’ve always wondered what death feels like, finally coming to the point in your life where everything stops. Is it just a sudden silence? What does death taste like, what does it look like? People say that you can have a near-death experience, but I sure as hell haven’t ever had one. None of that “Life flashes before your eyes” B.S. I mean sure, I’ve had a few bumps and bruises, and a couple times I’ve come home anything but sober. I’ve never really come close to dying or death in general, well not until that day in the woods.

There isnt a way to sugarcoat the fact that you will one day become nothing but a body 6 feet below in the ground. You see everyday on the news how somebody has been killed and you feel sympathy for them, but have you ever thought that in the future someone will be feeling the same sympathy for you. We didn't grow up being taught that death was something to welcome with open arms. In all actuality we are avoiding something that is bound to happen whether we want it or not. The famous quote “everything good must come to an end” is a good way to connect the good “ your life” with the end “death” to further your understanding of how short life really is. Know that nothing lasts forever and every day that you are blessed with will never come again. Acknowledging the fact and taking it one step at a time will lessen the amount of worries you have when facing the death that is creeping upon us.Its not the simplest process, if anything its a very emotional rollercoaster. Think about everything and act upon it because most of us want to be remembered by the positive contributions we did while we were walking the Earth. The more enlightened I became on my religious faith, the more courage I gained. I know without a doubt in my mind that there is a much more greater , everlasting life ahead of me. As a Christian, I know that my loving Father in Heaven awaits me. I know that my great grandmother, grandfather and my precious unborn sibling are all there, which

In 2016, there were over 64,000 drug related deaths. My dad was sadly one of them.

The thought of how death will come to us is enough to overwhelm and disturb us. We sometimes think about how we will die. We are left with no answers because there are many ways in which it can occur. An example would be when we see in the news that a young boy was murdered and compare that to an elderly man passing away in his sleep. We become shocked and disturbed by the fact that someone with so much ahead of them had a spontaneous painful death. We start to feel like that can be our fate as well. It is the way in which it happens that also disturbs us, the pain and suffering that often lead to death can make us cringe. Many can agree that we would much rather die in our sleep than have a slow painful death. The point is that no one knows when and how they are going to die and

Death is all around us; it could arrive to anyone at any time. It can happen in different ways, whether it is diseases, allergies or car accidents. Most people approaching the death stage try to avoid the thought of dying because of fear. Some people of religious backgrounds have different opinions about death. Some accept that there is a place reserved for them in heaven right after death, others believe they will reincarnate. Those are the strong believers; if they are a religious person they might believe in only our souls will last forever. However, others fear death because of the pain of death itself, the uncertainty of what will happen to them after death, and the concern for those people and things they will leave behind.

These five stages consist of denial, anger, bargaining, depression and acceptance. When it comes to losing a special someone in life due to death,

Death is something people in our society don’t think about overall, so many of us think in a sense that we are going to live forever. I don't think of death at all because I am still in the young stages of life, there has been death in my family in the last couple of years. When it comes to the concept of dying a good death, it would have to do with surrounding yourself with the individual in your life that is still alive like your kids and grandkids. Another concept of dying a good death is during that time, passing way with not a lot of pain in the process. Another idea when it comes to an individual of dying a good death is the reflection aspect. When a person is nearing death, they will be able to reflect on their life and many happy

In most people 's lives, they will experience a moment of knowing death is near.

We are all aware of death, and we know it will come to us all. To many of us death brings a chill down our spine ridden with fear, but to others it is ridden with strength and satisfaction of accomplishment. Fortunately or unfortunately we are all condemned to death. However no one knows when exactly the inevitable will approach, but we all know it is inescapable. But what makes death seem more realistic to us and those in denial of it is the lucid pictures of people suffering, in pain and those on their death bed before many of us can be rationale and accept the truth. Someone once said, “Life is about 50-70 years of pain. One is born through the mother’s pain and die leaving others in pain.'; How do we accept and
