Young people seem to have a hard time talking about death,
even though they are curious about it. Conversations about death make
people uncomfortable.
I recently mentioned my mother’s wish to die to an acquaintance
who asked about her. I could tell the conversation made this person
uncomfortable and I tried to change the subject quickly. Injecting a little
humor into a difficult conversation often makes a transition less awkward.
When someone is dying, the care-taker needs to maintain a
healthy life balance. Having a confidant who can listen, understand, and
empathize about the daily stresses of dealing with death is critical. Hospice
has people who are trained, have experience, and are willing to be that person.
Some people may have to deal with an impending death over a long period of time
due to the nature of an illness and continued support is important.
If you need someone to talk to about death and family or
friends are uncomfortable with the subject, then check out Hospice. They will
help take care of you, too.
