This week’s topic was a very emotional one that not many people like to think about. I personally, am not scared of my own death. I can die today and I would be okay with how I lived my life so far. It has not been the most exciting life so far, but I have a family who I love and friends that I care for with all my heart. So thinking about my own death is not something that keeps me up at night. Honestly, like what Stuart talked about in class I too have had moments in my life where I have thought of my own death. I have never had suicide ideations, but I do think about how easily I could die. I could step in front of a car and die, but I do not think that I could ever be capable of doing that. Yet, I do understand how some people can get feel so low that suicide is their only way out.

I am definitely terrified of my parents and sister dying. Like one of my group members said in-group, I depend on my parents/sister for so much I have no idea how I would survive without them. My dog also has just recently turned nine years old and literally the thought of dog getting older can make me cry. In my mind, if I were to experience a death soon it would be my dog. I cannot fathom how I would even react, because I have had her since she was only four days old. She is like my actual baby and is always there whenever I feel sad. I also have never experienced any death in my family yet so I do not have any experiences that will let me know I’ll be okay if it happens. However, it was really great to be able to see how our leader Carly has dealt and is dealing with loss. Even though it is obviously still painful for Carly to speak about her mom’s death and the fear of her dad dying I thought she was really strong and brave. It made me heart go out to her, because these fears are so present in her
