Completely clueless you'll close your eyes and feel every beat of your heart... Louder then you ever thought it was possible... you'll feel like dying... Warm tears will make you feel like there's nothing and nowhere else in this non-sense existence that would make you feel safe and hole again... a deep breath you'll allow you to feel your heart beating even stronger... You're not dying... Through the warmth of your tears you'll feel no longer afraid of feeling fear, you'll no longer will feel stuck for being los, you'll will no longer feel sorrow for being where you are and guilty

    Personal Narrative: My Experience With A Dying Patient

    Several years ago, when I was a brand new nurse’s aide, I had an experience with a dying patient that changed my perspective completely. I was scheduled to be a 1:1 companion with her for a 12 hour shift. The lady had received the news the day before that she most likely not live more than another week or two. And she was very much at peace with this, when talking to throughout my shift I inquired how she could be so calm and collected. She told me that death was just the next step.…

    The Lesson Before Dying Short Story

    There are many differences between “The Lesson Before Dying” and “Making a Murder”. The first difference between the two stories is the time of the century so the way they process crimes today is different from today’s criminal prosecution. In the “Lesson Before Dying” Jefferson was a black man in the 1940s with a murder crime, and in “Making a Murder” Steven Avery was a white man in the the late 1980s. Secondly, Jefferson was sentenced to death, and Steven was sentenced for 17 years for his first crime. Lastly, in the “Making a Murder” Steven was charged for a second crime after he was let out of prison, while Jefferson was never let out of jail.…

    Personal Narrative Witnessing Death

    Witnessing death was something that came surprisingly easy for me. I didn’t scream, I didn’t become sick, I was oddly settled. When my father pulled over to the side of the road and assisted a man who was a victim of a hit and run, instead of cowering into my mother’s arms, I jumped out of the car as well, and listened to the orders that my father shouted to me. As I assisted in rendering aid, I noticed that despite the bone protruding out of the man’s body, the bruises blanketing his body, and the dangerously large amounts of blood that he was exsanguinating, sudden realization of the situation entered into my mind. This was not an episode of Grey’s Anatomy, this was real.…

    Summary Of Grief, Dying, And Death

    Last January, 14 year old California girl Jahi McMath was pronounced brain dead due to complications from tonsil surgery. As The Guardian reports, it was only after a court order that the hospital released her body into the custody of her family who believes her to still be alive (theguardian.com). Around the same time, CNN reported a similar case involving a Texas woman called Marlise Munoz who was also pronounced brain dead after suddenly collapsing on the floor. Medical caregivers refused to take her off of life support due to state law that required all expectant mothers to be kept alive (cnn.com). The long legal battle that followed between the family and the hospital ended two months later with the hospital finally fulfilling the family’s…

    Hinduism: My Personal Experiences In My Life

    But based on what I believe today, I find that death secretly excites me. It is no longer some unknown void that keeps me awake at night, half curious and half afraid – but something to look forward to at the end of a life well-lived. This does not mean that I want to end my own life, because I feel very blessed to be alive with the opportunity to learn and to help others. It also doesn’t mean that I won’t grieve when others die, or that I won’t be afraid as a patient facing imminent death.…

Recently, there has a been a strong focus on helping individuals prepare for death and assist them in dying well.
