homework 48

i asked my mom what her point of view was on caring for the dead, and what she normally does. and she said that when someone dies that she knows, it depends on the person. if it was a distant friend or someone she knew, she wouldnt get upset. she would get a little down, but it wont affect her drastically. if it was someone very close to her for example a very close friend or family matter, then it would "hit home" as she said. she would get very upset about it and would dwel on the death and would take some time for her to get over it because she really cared about them. she would go to funerls to pay her respects to them and say her last goodbye's. i also asked her what would she like me to do for her when she dies. she said that she would want me to have a proper funeral for her. she would like it to be in a church, and have the organ playing in the background. then she would want to be buried instead of cremated.

i also asked my dad what he thought about caring for the dead as well and what he does when he finds out when someone has passed. he too also responded that he would pay his respects the the person and the persons family at the funeral. from then, he said that he would always carry the person in his memory. my grandpa also said similar answers along with also keeping the family in his prayers. to give them hope and make sure that God is looking over them.

based off of this, i view my family to be somewhat religious. for example, they believe in God and that the people will go to heaven and that they are going to be in a safe place now. i also see that they are "respectful" of the family and the one that has passed, they would go to the funeral to give the last goodbye's. my family has a thing about closer. they always have to give off their last words and wishes to the person before they are buried.
