Death comes to all living beings. This is a truthful fact. No one asks to be born. No one knows exactly when they will die. As a former Nurse, I saw death come in many ways. Some had relief from suffering and some suffered as they died. My great aunt who is 104 years young, once told me that she could have grieved herself to death many times in her life. She said, "I have lost my twelve brothers and sisters, two husbands, and my only child, but I choose not to do it." She laughs a lot. She told me the secrets to living and living well are all found in the Bible. It is good to cry out and weep openly when grieving. Some wish to do this in private and some grieve in public. Some cultures grieve as a group. Today, I met a new widow and I could tell she was grieving by her eyes when she mentioned her late husband. if I were to loose my child, it would devastate me. Why, I ask myself. It happens to people all the time. Because we think we own them? In reality, no one is another's property unless there is a slave agreement. Each of us belongs to our Creator. He has the power of life and death. Since we cannot take anything with us but our soul and spirit from this earth, why do some people get so possessive of things and not share? It is such a blessing to share talent and other things.

Death is final when the body dies. The eyes become dull and life less. Death can be relief from pain. It can be tragic, as when a small child or relative has an accident. We can bring death on too quickly by our actions and habits. One young woman stepped out of a car on ice and slipped in front of a passing truck. I wondered what kind of shoes she was wearing and why she was not paying attention to her surroundings. How sad for her parents and friends. We are not to live in fear or anger for this surely adversely affects one's health. When persons are ill, they are not themselves, so personally, I am against assisted suicide. Doctors are to do "no harm", and swear an oath to this when they become physicians. However, they are human and make mistakes. To say they are doing good by intentionally causing death and not relieving suffering is ludicrous.

People learn from the mistakes they make. Some learn from other's mistakes. When my Grandmother died suddenly, I was quite young. She had heart failure. How I have missed her all these years. I remember her habit of chatting too much and people were mean to her for doing this. I cried out in sobbing at her funeral. Some of the people there looked shocked. I could not help this. No one has ever been able to fill Mrs. Mignon Weaver Barnes's shoes, or duplicate her sugar cookie recipe. She had six grandchildren and all are still living. She prayed for us all the time. I know her prayers are still being answered to this day. We can empathize or give our symphony to those who loose lost ones. We need to forgive those who may inadvertently say or do the wrong thing in our times of need.
