When looking for different POV's on Illness and Dying, I thought of nothing other than the possible ideas coming from my family, the people I'm closest to. I'd figure with the ideas and beliefs I have personally, those of family members couldn't be any different. in fact, I figured their ideas would expand my own.
When asking my mother about her thoughts of Illness and Dying, she generally had this to say: "Illness and Dying in general, although sad and tragic, is just apart of Life. Death is indeed the end of Life, but the beginning of something new, something we don't know about, but will find out when we DO die".
When asking my sister about her thoughts on Illness and Dying, she had this to say: "It's scary, it affects not only the people who are sick, but their loved ones too. It sucked seeing Pop (our grandfather) get sick and when he passed, it was sad. When someone gets sick, even though that person gets the worst of it, those who care about that person get affected as well".
When asking my dad about his thoughts on Illness and Dying, he had this to say: "It's apart of life. You're born, go to school, work, maybe get married, have kids, retire, then eventually die. That's the basic cycle of Life".
Hearing these different POV's from my family, nothing really changes for me. it DOES however, make me think about Illness and Dying in general more. People are all going to have their own opinions about Illness and Death. I don't know about Illness, but in terms of Death, I believe you only find out the truth of course, when you die.
