1. We are all going to die so we just need to learn to deal with it.
2. No one was going to take care her husband.
3. Treat him as a person nad the disease.
4. Never talked about death/dying.
5. Postive thoughts.
6. Hallucination when they are close to th end.
7. Honeymoon from death(things seem better but they get bad really fast).
8. Be nice to people to help you get farther in life.
9. Make the moat in life.
10. Ask questions to make sure that you know what is going on.
11. when they are close to the end they stop eating.
I think that the idea of being postive is a good thing. I think that the idea of having to be reminded of the fact that you are sick is going to make you feel even worst and drive you killing your body without even knowing.I would like it if people acted as there was nothing wrong with me so I could leave the thought of dying until I about to die. I feel that the more postive look you have on disease the longer you will with that disease.
Another point that I think that was good was the fact that she did not have anyone but herself takd care of her husband. Because this is a time where families should be together and spend all time you can with each other.I think that only person/people that should see you at your worst is the people close to you.
1. What would you tell someone to help them deal with the pain.
2. If you could have done anything to put yor husband out of his pain would you hvae done it?
3. Why were you so open with the fact that he had an illness?
The killer phrase that caught my attention was,"Another point that I think that was good was the fact that she did not have anyone but herself takd care of her husband. Because this is a time where families should be together and spend all time you can with each other.I think that only person/people that should see you at your worst is the people close to you." To me i can see where you are coming from and find it to be true. Death is a stage of your life that should be filled with the last memories being with you family. I cant relate to josh and Ean's son to father relationship because i don't have my father now. Although my dad played a huge role in my life from the day i was born to the age of 7. I was daddy's little girl. Therefore i can partially understand the pain they went through. Beth's love for Erik was immense and i respect her journey with Erik through his death. What i don't seem to understand are her final feelings. Why do you think she didn't cry that much? Can you relate to her emotions or think she was rather "cold"? Do think she is an existentialist or transcendentalist person?
ReplyDeletei think this is is a thoughtfull post. i noticed how you keep talking about thinking positivly while faced with death and i think that that is a good way to look at it becuase it alows you to continue living your life.
