When I was younger I always thought of death as this cruel thing that took away those that I loved. However, death is something that is natural, but still is something that I want to keep at a distance. When death happens to those around us we offer our condolences, but are thankful on the inside it is not our family this time around. However, every death we experience is painful in its own way. It can remind us of someone else’s passing or make us think about our own future. With death being on the news, social media, or the radio every day it is something I actively think about. Honestly, it’s hard not to go one day without at least thinking about something death related. We can put different humor into it to try to make it an easier topic.

I believe it is important not to rush the process. After a death you just need to take your time to get back into the swing of things. Grief feels like a rollercoaster of emotions. One day you can feel like you have made your amends and the next day you are back in bed sobbing. I believe people go through their own styles of grief when dealing with death. When my father died I reached out to friends and family and sought counseling. However, my brother decided to become angry with the world and bottle himself up. I plan on pursuing a degree in psychology and I know there are the five stages of grief. Those five stages include denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and finally acceptance. Therefore, it would be wrong of me not to consider he was probably in his anger phase. Although I sought help, it does not mean I did not have hard times during my own grieving periods. I can remember days where I would lock myself in my room. I didn’t want to talk or eat. I just wanted to be left alone with my own feelings. With that in mind, I still have days like that when I think of my dad. In reality, I don’t think you ever get over grieving. A death can affect you for a lifetime. It can put you on to a whole different life trajectory. That’s why I think it is incredibly important to take your time dealing with a death. You just have to take your emotions day by day. Friends and family should understand what you are going
