Through death and back
Share This Essay:
I believe that some times death is a good thing because if someone is and a lot of pain you don’t want to keep them alive to keep feeling all that pain. I found this out a few years ago. My family has a line of getting cancer in this case breast cancer my aunt sandy died of breast cancer. I was really mad at her for leaving me until I realized she didn’t have a choice if she hadn’t of died she would have been in a lot of pain. I am kinda happy she died but not in that way not oh yah she is dead and through a party dead but good that she doesn’t have to live through any more pain. The hard thing is that now I just might have to live through what she did I am praying that no one else in my family has cancer because cancer is very deathly but I am sure if I eat healthy exercise that I will be fine. Now when I grow up I will truly understand the meaning of death.
