When it comes to illness and dying I never think about it nor do I want to think about. I mean I know I going to die and that I have to die but I just can't picture what life would be like without me or think about how I will not be able to think feel or move. I think that is going to be hard to do this unit because of the fact that I am scared to think abaout that thought. And with most people not wanting to talk about things that can kill us I don't think that we will all be open to everything.
The idea in my house is that we don't need to go to the hospital. My mom feels that if you sleep it off the cold would go away or if you have aids that fact that you just deal wityh it you will live longer. So we kind believe that if you have a positive look on things life will be better. I do feel that is true and I think that when I see people in the hospital I try to lighten their day so that they can see the positive side of life so make them laugh.
But I do think that if I was sick I would not want anyone to see me. I think that I would want to be myself to get my rest so that I can get out of there. But I am dying and I know that I am not going to live an longer I want people that I am going to miss. But I really never thought about to say. and hopeful I will learn more about to deal with dying as this unit begins.
i can relate. i dislike talking about anything that scares me. but i think its important that you open up and allow your self to think about death and illness not just becuase f this unit but becuase if you are faced with it in the future you might be able to handle it in a better way
