Who Is To Blame For Corbin's Death?

Improved Essays
I think there is a fine line between giving someone the right response, and allowing the person the right amount of time to grieve the loss. There are many steps to grieving a loss of a loved one, first denial, then anger and depression, and then finally acceptance, so many people get stuck on the anger step, however we must soon accept that death is part of our lives here on earth. I, myself have even fallen victim to blaming God and I have been a christian for most of my life and I understand that our God is a loving God, however when my best friend Corbin died of cancer when he was only nineteen years old that was an extremely hard circumstance to understand. Corbin was unlike every other nineteen year old boy, he was the perfect example …show more content…
In this instance and many others similar it is very easy for us to blame God for taking Corbin’s life, yet that is not what the bible shows us we are to do. I am still grieving to this day over his death, however I no longer blame God for Corbin passing. God’s intentions are never to see us hurt. God has a much bigger plan than any of us are able to comprehend, by Corbin passing so many of us were woken up to the realness of having a loved one pass away and learned how to overcome this grief at a young age. God does not intend for terrible things to happen, death is apart of life and God never wanted us to have to go through death, he has proven that to us by creating the tree of life in the garden of eden. When Eve and Adam chose to eat from the tree of good and evil, death was brought into the world and we are constantly trying to find ways against it, However we will never get to have a perfect world until we are in heaven with Jesus. Until then we just have to know that Corbin and many others like him are smiling down on us from heaven and waiting for our arrival in heaven to be reunited once

    Once the criminals associated with the killing of the Clutter family is revealed, Holcomb’s population is noticeably dissatisfied with the revelation, which is conveyed by Capote inserting a conversation between the town’s people regarding their feelings towards who was responsible. The majority of Holcomb’s population is conclusively “… disappointed at being told that the murderer was not someone among themselves. ”(231)This is partially due to the people during the entire investigation being convinced that someone among them had to have committed the crime because they ultimately believed that the act was too personal to not have a direct relationship to the Clutters. Therefore, when it is revealed that what they believed was instead the complete…

    Having HIV is no longer a death sentence now that someone can live a normal life. With recent medications and treatment options, this disease is considered manageable just like any other chronic disease. When HIV was first diagnosed in the world, it was considered a death sentence and the stigma attached brought about social isolation to almost all patients with the diagnosis, today, it is regarded as one of those chronic diseases such as hypertension, heart disease, diabetes, and arthritis. If I were diagnosed with HIV, my immediate reaction would be shock, surprise, sadness, fear, concern over my future, depression, shame, and isolation. Despite all the shock, if there is someone that would tell me I can still leave a normal life and teaches me how to achieve it, I would go for it quickly in other to be there long enough for my family.…

    Watching a family member slowly die is one of the toughest experiences someone could go through. I had to do this when I was in my early teens with someone who I admired greatly and held a large place in my heart, my father. He was diagnosed with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, also known as ALS and Lou Gehrig 's disease, and I watched for almost two years as he lost the ability to use his right hand, then both of his legs, right up to the point where he couldn’t speak to us and he had to blink once for yes and twice for no. It hurt our family immensely to watch him struggle to ask for something as simple as water, but it hurt him in a way that was much worse than the disease itself. He had to look into the world hearing everyone go by his room…

    Were all destined to fulfill a purpose in life in which we want a path that guides us without being so laborious. It's like a seed sprouting in the spring, the seed grows and flourishes into a beautiful flower all through summer to only wither and die in the cold winter, but it must all take place in order to regenerate. As humans were lit up with the seed of aspirations to then face yourself with obstacles that you never expected. We all want to get to those aspirations or the blooming stage, but it is equally essential to pass by the bloom and face the unawareness of life's reality before the new seed can be born. Death being so catastrophic portrays people being forlorn, but in a religious aspect we can see it as a beatific moment for one's…

    Grief has been both my downfall and my saving grace. No one knows how to grieve properly or correctly, but the one thing I learned from grieving at a very young age, is that grief is love; specifically, unconditional love. This unconditional love towards someone (or in my case, many people) pours out as a sign of loneliness and yearning just to hold them and hug them one final time. I understand that losing people is a part of life and can’t be avoided, but growing up, I thought my world had turned upside down when I lost the two most important people to me. Three weeks prior to my tenth birthday, my Nana passed away from Alzheimer’s Disease.…

    A death of someone is never easy to handle, especially when it’s someone you truly care about. Growing up, the subject of death was never really concealed from me. My parents were very upfront about it and taught me that it is part of life. I have experienced multiple deaths throughout my years, both of family and nonfamily members, but only 4 of them really impacted me and taught me lessons. I wouldn’t say that these experiences of death has made me numb to it, but has shaped the way that I handle and look at death.…

    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.…

    My dad was recently hospitalized and is awaiting a form of open heart surgery at Sunnybrook Hospital in Toronto. Only a few months earlier, after learning material in this course, I addressed important questions to my family relating to their personal preferences when in the face of death. My family has always held relatively private attitudes towards death. When my grandmother passed away, each member of my family went to our separate rooms and dealt with our own emotions separately and never addressed the death with support from each other. Looking back, all our attitudes have all drastically changed as a result of my dad’s health issues; our family is now very supportive of each other and we tackle emotional setbacks as a team.…
