Personal Narrative-Death Funeral

Improved Essays
As I lay here in this dark coffin, I slowly start to realize how close I am to death. My breathing slowly becomes exceedingly shallow and rigid and I feel as if every breath I attain is my last. As my breathing slows down so does the beating of my heart. The faith and hope I once had in someone finding me seems to be disappearing. I now truly understand what hopelessness feels like. While I lay here Ican’t help but recall the events that led me here.
It started one night while walking home from a late double shift at work I felt as if I was being followed. I attempted to calm my nerves by telling myself it was just my imagination. But the sensation of someone following me became to intensify. As this sensation intensified my body quickly became more rigid and my heartbeat began beat faster, Soon the beating of my heart was the only sound I could hear.

My heart is now beating awfully slow that it feels as if it isn 't beating at all. All faith and hope I once possessed are now gone, but replaced with the acceptance of death. Suddenly I hear a commotion, but I know it is just my imagination playing tricks on me. But the sound of sirens and shouting sounds so vivid that part of me hopes this isn’t my imagination. The fraction of hope I posses inspires me to beat against the coffin door. But my body quickly becames too tired and too weak, and all I want to do is succumb to this awful fate. Finally my heart begins to beat its final beats and I begin to take my final breath. I slowly close my eyes and welcome the freedom of death. But sudenlly, I hear someone scream.”I’ve found

    The voice wonders if he subconsciously wants to “end in sleep”, or die, but recognizes that he can either accept death or be dragged down with it.

The connotation of “dark” is mysterious and unclear, like the vagueness of death. His subconscious knows that death is necessary, but still acknowledges that it is to be wept…

    The moon lit up the house; the breeze of the night shut out as I slammed the door. Paper thin walls surrounding Tom and I, we tiptoed over the creaky floorboards, not wanting the neighbours to hear our playful teasing, our amorous whispers, our passionate romance. As I pushed my lips against his, so tender and soft, I stumbled around for the light switch. While my eyes adjusted to the brightness, they met his, just like the ocean: wide and deep and the purest, most beautiful blue you could ever witness.…

    I was woken up by the hysteric sound of my mother yelling that had pierced through the silent night then closely followed by the sound of boots that shock the floor that had filled the silent night with the constant yelling that was rapidly approaching as the silence descended into complete chaos. It was the night I lost it all my faith, strength, feelings of emotion and compassion had all vanished into anguish. I had little to no time to react as the I jumped out of bed I was immediately put down by a force that was sure to put a hole in the ground, my face was covered, I felt like I was suffocating as I gasped for even the slightest amount of air and it seemed that the more I struggled the faster the air flew out the bag.

    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.…
