I on the other hand realized how close death really is and how it comes very unexpectedly. My question is should death be something that is forgotten or remembered, or perhaps a faint memory like a dream that never happened. All of these questions were dealt with and many were left unanswered for they were solely based on your own individual view. .
I tried to go as deep as could with each question that I asked the two participants. Many of the answers took a little while to answer but in most respects I felt where answered from the heart. My first participant, who's name I have changed to protect him, is a 20 year old college student from the Massachusetts area. Brian comes a very prominent background in a fairly wealthy community on the North Shore. Brian from what I have found out had a very good relationship with is father who had very recently passed away no more than 5 months ago. He had just woken up and was getting ready to go to work, when he had opened his door but a crack to find his father slumped against the adjacent wall. His immediate reaction was to punch his bedroom wall and protrude his fist through to the wood. The death of his father was very sudden and unexpected, while me second participant's death was much more expected due to a terminal illness. Megan, whose name is also being protected, had a very good relationship as well with her father. Her family from what I can remember had her raised under very strict rules, which helped to mold her into who she is today. This very strict up brining also brought her very much closer to her family and made it very difficult when faced with the reality of losing her father. I learned that an expected death has all the elements that an unexpected death brings, in many ways it can be worse because you think you are prepared for it, but realize that you are not once it finally is brought forth. .
