Improved Essays
Dealing with death it impacts my emotions in the following three ways: Grief, Anger and Depression.
Grief is the state of emotional feelings that I went through after the death of my mother. In 1987, my mother was diagnosed with lung cancer and the doctors only gave her 6 to 18 months to live. When she told me, I was so devastated I just didn’t know what to do. During those months I was grieving before she died because I just didn’t know what to do. I did everything in my heart begging my mother not to have the surgery. It has been a known fact that once you have surgery cancer spreads, so that’s why I didn’t want her to do that.

I was so devastated after the death of my mother that once everything was over I went into a very bad depression. I went to see a Therapist because I was not understanding why this had to happen to me. I knew all about death but to lose my mother that just took me into another frame of mind. I didn’t want to eat but at that time my mother died I was pregnant with my son so I knew that I couldn’t put my life or my baby life in danger. I just sat in my mother’s bedroom and look at all the memories of her for weeks after weeks. She really left a good impression on everyone that came across her path while on this earth. My family was very worried about my health after the death of my mother with me just lying around not doing anything at all, not wanting to be around no one. What I learned from this is being depressed doesn’t help at all. I must learn from this that death has no name on it. You never know when it’s you time to die so just live your life to the fullest and make the best of it every day like it’s your last day on this earth.
In my conclusion, I dealt with death in three different ways and it was grief, anger and depression. I just know that dealing with death and how it impacts you in several different ways is your choice on how you want to deal with the death of a loved one. No one can tell you how to deal with death, you just

It is important to not bury our heads in the sand, instead, to make responsible preparations which include our wishes for best for our family, friends, and relatives and also financial and legal arrangements for those who are left.

    Grief has been both my downfall and my saving grace. No one knows how to grieve properly or correctly, but the one thing I learned from grieving at a very young age, is that grief is love; specifically, unconditional love. This unconditional love towards someone (or in my case, many people) pours out as a sign of loneliness and yearning just to hold them and hug them one final time. I understand that losing people is a part of life and can’t be avoided, but growing up, I thought my world had turned upside down when I lost the two most important people to me. Three weeks prior to my tenth birthday, my Nana passed away from Alzheimer’s Disease.…

    Death is final with no point of return and extremely painful for the ones left behind to grieve. This was especially true for me when I lost my mother. Losing her was one of the most difficulty experiences in my life because I was not prepared for her death. Looking back on the situation, there was nothing for which to prepare; she was only fifty-one years old. I knew her health was not the best; however, the diagnosed health problems were not what killed her.…
