hw 50 first third of the book

The first third of the book was the descprition of the authors view on death and her experiences with death. She views death in the perspective of a science and not as an emotional thing for herself. Her work consists of many death encounters with many people mainly older people, and she analyzes them and their experiences. It seems that the people vary from being satisfied or happduring their experience with death but others feel pity for the person dying.

"Thanks to lucy's foresights and good humor, her family and friends were allowed to experience how death can be so wonderfully included in the process of living.

"By talking about her passing, thinking about it, and acting on the reality of deathin her future, lucy provided her sons with coping mechanisms for what the future would assuredly bring."

"He was such a nice man with gentle ways"

Something interesting about this book was how the author makes u feel sad. She uses language that makes u feel as if u were with her doing everything. Another interesting thing was that when the first lady was spoken about and how she died it was like the author was glad for her passing and it set the book off for being a good vibe book and then we get into deaths that make one feel depressed. Its a book that I can tell is going to be like ina mays childbirth book in which its going to be a lot of stories then maybe some facts that will make me bored but for some reason I would rather read this book because it just seems so much more relevant to me and my life. I love how when I read this book I can connote ideas into my life because I have experienced deaths in my life and I try to analyze peopless emotions but it gets to the point where I can't even focus on emotions but instead I am creating my own. Now this book gives me the satisfaction of reading about what a death expert notices from more of a scientific lens.
