Definition of death: the termination of biological functions that define a living organism. It refers both to a particular event and to the conditions that result thereby.
Death is something that is celebrated, embraced and feared all across the world. It has no qualms, about who it encounters - social class, religion, gender, age; these all are irrelevant. If there is one thing we can be certain of in life is that eventually, one day we will all die. Some people have a hard time adjusting whilst others seem to accept it effortlessly. No matter how prepared you think you may be, spiritually, practically etc, somehow it never seems enough. What’s worse than your own death is losing a loved one; knowing that you can’t help and leaving you to helplessly watch on. There is nothing that can compare to the feeling of losing a loved one and it is something that I feel you never really get over.
