Death is a 5 letter word!
| by RASmith | February 23, 2008
Yes , death is a 5 letter word just as is birth. We struggle to take our first breath when we are born and we struggle to take our last breath when we die. And we suffer with a whole lot of suffering, during the journey. My point being life is a not easy.
I lost my oldest friend 2 years ago, my mother last year and 3 days ago I lost my brother in law . What one thing is common, I visited them in a hospital and they were hooked up to all kinds of stuff and then they died!
I think Kevorkian had a point, because when you really get sick, you are at the mercy of hospitals and doctors who are operating a business and businesses all have a bottom line!
Hospitals can supersede your living will, when it comes to what is done to you! I know because that happened with my mom and we had to make decisions which should not have been!
So now after death, you are put on display in a funeral home for people to walk by you and make comments on how you look! What a ridiculous practice, what a lousy memory maker, and I fail to see how this brings closure to a family or anybody else!
I personally will do things very different, with no showing, no graves, no head stones and cremation, because as a private person in life. I will also be private in death!
