DEATH, what an ambiguous thing...
April 21, 2095
Mariana ???(I'm not revealing the last name!) Hernandez was born and raised in the city of El Paso. She only wanted to achieve her dreams, and in the end she did. She became a great writer, acclaimed for her few, but long-lasting books, became the District Attorney she always strived to be, but most of all raised a family with her loving husband who died only weeks before she did. We, her four children, hope that she is at peace. All we can say is that our mother was a good parent, and amazing person, and someone we and her many friends will never forget. She always centered her life around family and the needy, because she always reminded us that her mother had told her too. She felt that it was her duty, and we too gained that belief. Our mother died in her sleep at the age of 102. She was fit as a fiddle, so it was a surprise, but we all know that she will live on in us. We will never forget, and we will always love her. We miss you mom, but we'll meet again someday.
What a sad end, but luckily it was peaceful. Surprisingly, even in this grim time, there are actually stages towards death. Emotions and thoughts that go by and show your steps into acceptance. I'll quickly describe them to you, my readers. This is according to Elisabeth Kubler-Ross who conducted interviews on dying persons and their caregivers.
1. Denial- in which people refuse to believe the diagnosis of death is real
2. Anger- which is really feelings of anger towards death itself and the feelings of helplessness to change things
3. Bargaining- in which the dying person tries to make a deal with doctors or even with God
4. Depression- which is sadness from losses already experienced ant those yet to come
5. Acceptance- when the person had accepted the inevitable and quietly awaits death
A little morbid, I know, but there you have it, my life is over.
Hope it was amazing, at least I hope it will be.
