When I was young I thought life was going to be filled with laughter and joy. As I got older I was introduced to a new emotion fear and it wasn’t the kind that if there are going to be a monster under my bed. It was a different kind of fear. Fear of losing our loved ones. Fear of never seeing them again. I learned we are all going to die someday. Death is part of our life cycle, but it 's a terrifying thing because no one wants to lose their loved ones. The scariest thing about death is you never know when you or your loved ones are going to die. I have lost a few people at a young age. It 's heartbreaking, but I had to learn to be strong. Three years ago, my grandfather who is a father figure to me got really sick and was admitted to the hospital. He wasn’t even old. …show more content…
In Godfather Death the boy tries to go against death by trying to save the princess since the king promised to marry the princess to him. He doesn’t worry about death because death is his godfather but he ends up dying because you can 't cheat death. If you could control your death everyone would be alive and our world would be overpopulated. The thing that frightens me about death is that’s is there going to be anything after that? Many people believe in an afterlife or Hell and heaven, but no one really knows because no one from the death has come back. I stand by "Every Exit is an entrance to somewhere." by Tom Stoppard because Death might seem like an end to us because we will never see your loved ones after they are buried , but maybe its a new beginning for them. Maybe there is a nice place like Heaven where everyone 's spirits are happy and in peace. So I believe that there is something after death, but we won 't really know until we die. I believe our closed ones death is a new beginning for us too because we won 't have the person to lean on ask them to help us instead we have to be strong and try our

    Death has always been seen as the essence of misery, darkness, and evil. When people are exposed to the concept of dying, they are frightened, because death leads to lands that are unknown to man. Even though people do not understand it, the unknown world of the afterlife is assumed to be cold and lonely, an inescapable void. People, when they think of death, are reminded of how they lost their loved ones to it, how they have mourned those they will never be able to see again. However, while this is the widespread view of the afterlife, there are people who see death as a new beginning.…

    Through multiple groups in the study, the overall conclusion was that death does in fact have a significant connection, adding that death “may promote a sense of meaning in life” (1462). This research claims that death does not necessarily mean the end. This idea is further supported through Westley’s line, “Death cannot stop true love. All it can do is delay it for a while” (Reiner 40:10). This shows that death is simply just an obstacle that can be conquered.…

    For many people, death is one of the scariest things they will have to face. Why? Because they do not know what will happen after they die; will they go to Heaven, or will they be reincarnated? No one is, or can be, certain of what happens and arguably, this could be the main basis of religion. The question of what happens after death is a common theme expressed through many works of literature, such as Obasan by Joy Kogawa, Hamlet by William Shakespeare, “The Open Boat” by Stephen Crane, and the poem “At the River Clarion” by Mary Oliver.…

    Death is a small, seemingly innocuous five-letter word. It is a topic that many do not like to discuss until it is absolutely necessary, while others may sit and ponder it in order to make sense of their life and purpose. Many ask themselves things such as “what will happen to me after I die?” One may think that humans are scared of dying or even say that they personally are scared of death. The uncertainty of an afterlife, or the concern over what will happen to those one leaves behind are valid concerns.…

    My first experience with death occured when I was 4 and my great-grandfather died, although I was not that affected, as I was too young to really know what was going on and I wasn´t really close with him in the first place. When I was 10, my grandfather was diagnosed with cancer, and he passed away two years later. This was my real first experience with death, as I was affected deeply, as was my family too. Whenever my grandfather was diagnosed with cancer, they found it in the fourth stage, which is the worst stage, he started treatment with hopes that he would get rid of the cancer.…

    As we know, the state of the soul and living a harmonious and virtuous life is far more important than the physical life. Thus, to fear death is a guilty plea to living an ignorant and unjust life. There are two outcomes to death: positive transition and positive transformation of the soul. The soul can be in eternal rest or migrate to a better place. Contrary to belief, death is not an end but the beginning of an undisturbed rest.…

    But when that time comes, my fear of death will be similar to the fear that I experience when the car of my roller coaster at Cedar Point slowly ascends the first hill, just before the plunge. The ride itself is enjoyable, but the anticipation that leads up to it can be nerve-wracking. The same is true of death. In my moments of insecurity at the end of my life, I will find comfort in the fact that love, peace, reunion, and explanations to life lessons await me on the other…

    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.…
