homework 21
i was not there for the guest speaker so im not 100% sure what she talked about. but from asking around and a few people telling me, she was talking about her husbands death from kidney cancer. it must have been really hard knowing that the one you loved for so long and was very close to you was dying. and its shocking when it happens because you dont know exactly when their time is goin to come.

You should add some of your own insight, include your perspective. Explain a connection you may have to her situation, and if you don't have one than you can use a friends loss as an example. Just try to give a connection.
ReplyDeleteIt's a bit sad that you missed the guest speaker; it probably would have been very insightful; due to the fact that it was the spouse's point of view on how the gentleman lived. As well as her struggles with this non curable disease and knowing her love had limited time. I myself have fought a long battle with cancer emotionally & physically through my brother whom has been diagnosed with cancer and myself as well.
ReplyDeleteNext time you miss a guest speaker or a class and find out what topic was discussed that day, it would be nice to do a little research on let's say this topic, kidney cancer. You could have looked up stories about other spouses points of views, how treatment works for this specific cancer, maybe the ribbon color, and what precautions (if any) could be taken to prevent getting this disease.
While reading your blog you stated “it must have been really hard knowing that the one you loved for so long and was very close to you was dying. and its shocking when it happens because you dont know exactly when their time is goin to come.”. This stands out to me because I have lived in fear of getting emotionally involved due to this reason of leaving a loved one other than family behind. You being so young, I wonder why you choose theses words, to express your point of view on the guest speaker’s limited time and love for her husband. Have you ever been in a situation where your time with someone is limited?
I agree with Jayson's comment, but from what you said you're pretty dead on about how the Beth (the speaker) feels and felt. But not awlays is someone constantly sad about the death of their loved ones in beth case, she watched him die, and accepted it, and instead of over praising her husband, or imagining that they're in a better place, she just carries on his work, and her families life, because life goes on.
