Facing Terminal Illness is a time in a person’s life that can either be a time of reflection and understanding or a time of remorse, regret and disappointment. In Tuesdays With Morrie, Morrie takes a positive out look on his situation reflecting on his past. ““There is no point in keeping vengeance or stubbornness. These things”-he sighed– “These things I do regret in my life. Pride. Vanity. Why do we do the things we do?”” Page. 164 Our guest speaker Beth reflected on her husband’s death telling us about all his great accomplishments and how he was still happy making the best of the life before he died.
Family
Family is one of the most important things in life. Our guest speaker Beth had a very close family when her husband was passing away. Her oldest son was very close with his father and she thought he could not handle seeing him die so Beth sent him away. Their younger son Evan was stronger and could handle it so he was able to take care of his dad up until his death. In Near-Death the doctors would consult the families of patients with the truth of what was happing with their family member and give them the power to make life decisions to them if they want. At the same time they where telling the patient lies giving them hope.
Being sick
Being sick is very common in modern society and when it happens we try to get better threw drugs that have been pre-approved for our use by doctors. After we find that all the drugs we are allowed to use don’t work we go to the hospital where doctors can look at us and give us more drugs. In my own life I find this to be true. In my family when a person gets sick it is a ritual to take aspirin every two hours for a day. In most cases it works and makes your sickness go away but if it doesn’t work we make the first doctors appointment we can to get check out to see what the doctor could do for us to get better.
