Insights
1) When someone dies their loved one doesn’t cry for the one that’s passed away but they are really crying for themselves. – grandma and previous thought
2)It’s possible that the person, who dies, dies at a time in place that will leave the loved ones with the greatest impact (lesson) or least pain. –discussion with grandma
3)Everyone’s life has a price. Our culture puts price tags on quality of life one may live based on if they can afford treatment. – realization gained from watching Sicko
4)It’s inconceivable to understand the effects of one’s death and others illnesses unless you have been exposed to death and even then it is difficult to understand the suffering and complications felt/dealt with by loved ones
Best Sources
Talking with my grandma has been the best source for discovering new ideas and insights. When we talk we pull upon past memories and experiences we have of people around us dying and being ill. Noting we say is based on studies, statistics or hard facts. But at the same time the lack of cited evidence allows for deeper thought, since we are over whelmed by surprisingly large numbers and incriminating facts. It’s also the most enjoyable I like talking and bonding with her in that way it is extremely engaging, due to the give and take in the conversation, and as far as I know the conversations are honest.
Further Research Areas
1)At what point is a person dead? Last heart beat, when they aren’t in any of the livings memories, when they can’t respond to stimuli?
2)Why is it Americas culture for people to die in a hospital, a place of very little significance and familiarity? Apparently 80 percent of Americans die in hospitals.
