WordPress Question of the Day

How does death change your perspective?

I have to laugh, well not really laugh, but anyone that knows me, knows that I have had my share of death and although it might make some people cynical it just makes me sad. I don’t hate God for taking my loved ones because I figure there has to have been a reason. Maybe that is just me. It hurts and I wish I knew why but that is all part of it I guess.

  1. In response to the question; yes. From our very first face to face reality check, that this breathing existence can suddenly stop, our belief system is forever changed. Every subsequent meeting with this unavoidable part of human frailty brings with it multiple challenges to what a human believes about & how that person deals with life.

  3. What needs to be remember is NO-ONE GETS OUT ALIVE, we all have to die some time. Death changes your perspective by making you realize about the time wasted. The time that you could have, would have, should have, spent with that person. So maybe just maybe we see this and we start to be grateful for every moment we get to be with our loved ones now.

  13. Death changes my perspective of everything. Life really is short. Live it loud. Live it boldly. But live it for Christ – because with death comes for us – we can be reunited with all our saved loved ones again. Knowing death – having lost some very loved ones – knowing they were saved makes me really try to live pleasing to God.

  14. Death to me is something to be not grateful, but at peace with. As it is a coming together of the old and the new. Life is given for another to take its place, while it is also a rebirth of your own in nearly any religion in one way or another. Born into Heaven, Born again onto Earth, Born again as an alien or whatever it may be!

  15. It’s understandable that death can evoke a range of emotions, including sadness and confusion. Your perspective on the topic is a reminder that death is a part of life, and it can bring about a deeper appreciation for the time we have with our loved ones. Your willingness to see the bigger picture, even in the face of loss, is a testament to your strength and resilience.

  16. I was diagnosed with terminal hrain cancer in April 2022, and wife told I would be dead by Christmas. I wasn’t and I’m not. Even the prognosis changes everything – just like love does – and it is a painful and reflective process when you know 100% there is no cure onbthe horizon, and that the journey to the end will be tough. God bless you all x Nick

    1. Wow, you are very brave. My best friend from childhood is the president (not sure if that is the right name) of TargetCancer in Boston. Her husband Paul started the organization right before he passed away from a rare brain cancer. They are a non-profit that gives all the money they raise to research. I’m not sure if you have heard of them. Her name is Kristen Poth and her brother Jim Palma run the organization. If you think there is anything that you might be able to learn that is new please contact them and tell them I sent you to them. Christine Bialczak
      Kristen and I have been friends since childhood. God bless you and your wife.

  17. This is a really rough question to answer, as someone who has only lost grandparents so far. And that’s not putting losing grandparents lightly by no means. I just had lived away from them for many years so losing them sucked of course, but I imagine the grief would’ve been a lot more intense if I saw them often or spoke to them often.

    Although it’s been a blessing not to lose anyone super close to me, it has given me crippling anxiety wondering who would be the first to go because I absolutely can’t bare to lose anyone close to me. Not now not ever. I’m in my forties and my parents are in their sixties. Would it be one of them? All my siblings are getting up in age with the oldest being in her forties and a thirty-something brother and the youngest two siblings being in their early and mid twenties. Would it be one of them? I have five children. Would I have to bury one of them?? I CANNOT FATHOM. Ever. Would it be me first? How would my children live their lives without me? No one could protect them like me. So you see, although I haven’t lost anyone, I’m on pins and needles everyday with my overthinking mind about who and when. I don’t dare say that’s worse than ACTUALLY losing anyone; please don’t get me wrong.

  22. Grief be the price of love, and it is love that allows that grief to become a silent yet beautiful presence. If the process we call death has taught me anything it is that love is once and once only, but it is for eternity

  23. I can’t say that it changes my perspective, only that the pain associated with it forces me to reevaluate and change things that don’t make me happy. Life is too short; be happy. You cry enough when loved ones leave.

  24. I think that facing death is different for each person. And the reactions are different when it is the death of strangers compared to someone you love. And that is also different from facing your own death… A tough question.
