Understanding Death

Death is when someone’s life ends. It’s a natural part of life, even though it can feel sad or scary.

Talking about death can actually help us feel better. When we share our feelings with others, we can find comfort and support, especially during tough times.

It’s important to have honest conversations about it. This helps us understand it better, feel less afraid, and deal with emotions like sadness or grief.

When we talk openly about death, it can remind us of what really matters in life. It helps us focus on what’s important right now and figure out what we want to do moving forward.

Facing this topic doesn’t have to be scary—it can make life feel more meaningful and clear.

Why thinking about death helps you live a better life

Why is it so hard to live in the present

PeaceBuilders Opinion 1

We are born into this world, and one day, we’ll leave it. That’s how life works.

The time between being born and passing away is our chance to live the best life we can.

As we grow older or start to think about death, we might feel scared or want to avoid talking about it. But pretending it won’t happen doesn’t change anything—it’s just denial.

Instead of fearing it, we can use the thought of death as a reminder to live fully. We can focus on what matters most, make plans, and work toward the life we truly want.

Talking about death isn’t scary—it helps us be ready and appreciate life more. So, let’s embrace it and make the most of every moment we have.

Author's Opinion 2

Extract from: Owning our Struggles by Minaa B. 2023

Death is the only finish line:

There is no arrival. Our arrival comes when we are greeted by death.

As long as we are alive, healing will be an everyday practice, which means there is no perfect start time.

Healing does not have an expiration date or an age requirement. It is never too late to get started on the life you desire. And it is never too late to give yourself the life you think you deserve.

You may not have control over everything, but it is up to you to do better for the person you want to be ten years from now. It is never too late to get up and try one more time.

Healing is the sacred act that is strictly reserved for the living. We have the power to lean into the intricacies of our humanity to build resilience and perseverance.

We do not know what tomorrow brings, but we can choose to stand tall and make today meaningful.

Sometimes we dont live long enough to see the fruits of our labor, but I promise that planting the seed is also good enough. Starting now is good enough.
