He grins at me and says. “ Well then Thomas, Tom, Tommy, Thomas. Dying, death, being dead, having died is a subject that lots of adults in our society don’t like to talk about. In fact they dislike talking about death, dying, being dead and having died so much( They all mean the same thing, just the timing is a little different between them) that they create and use words and phrases that relate to dying rather than actually say ‘Uncle Roger died.’ So I expect you will be confused in some of the conversations that you will hear and be part of over the next few days.…

The death of a loved one is never an easy thing to take in. As you go through the stages of mourning, it seems to get easier to accept it. I have never gone through the stages of mourning.

Near death experiences give us a different outlook on how the human body and mind reacts to our final moments. NDE may occur at the brink of death almost similar to an out of body experience. Many people are unsure of the causes of NDEs. They are confused to whether it is a scientific or religious process. However, it has been scientifically proven that NDEs are linked to the brain’s functions.…
The near death experience was first defined to be a spur of consciousness leading to an altered-reality experience on random individuals who reach the state of clinical death by a lack of oxygen to the brain that implies complete unconsciousness on those individuals (Khanna & Greyson, 2014, p. 1605). Near death experience recounts highlight similarities among those who experience them. Characteristics such as out of body experiences, diving into darkness to then transport into a light-filled dimension where deceased relatives and beings of light can be contacted are some of those similarities (Purkayastha & Mukherjee, 2012, pp. 104-105). Even though several neurological explanations support the idea of a near death experience being produced by the brain, those…

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.…
I am very proud of the unifying attitudes towards coping with sickness and death now embedded in my family. Growing up, I was always baffled why people were so deeply affected by death. I had never had an immediate family member or close friend pass away and I never understood people’s drastic reactions to death. To me, it seemed to be a natural process that everyone goes through.…
Not Every Reaction to Death is The Same Death is an occurrence that everyone will experience or already has experienced in some type of way. Death is inevitable and everyone will somehow encounter it at some point in their life; however, how someone reacts to death is not as predictable.
