hw 51 second part of the book

this part spoke about how june nadle had a roomate named erma who soon became her very close friend. Erma got really sick especially because she had a heart murmur. Doctors had trouble giving information on and it soon became an illness that had a 50 percent chance of survival after she had done surgery. She went through with the operation and got sick once again but this time it was fatal and her friend erma died. She was to be embalmed but june couldn't do it because she was way too emotional. She found that emotions impact her and her job. She couldn't bear to see her friend dead and being embalmed so she chose not to do it and that shows how death can impact your psycological state." Death and tragedy is a reality of life but together we must face it. In order to heal and continue living our lives." This quote from the author herself shows that we all greive in many ways and we know that we will die but it becomes so surreal and threatening when it strikes out of the blue and takes someone you love. To understand death and to speak about it will make the fear factor that we all have about death lower because we will have knowledge and not be so naiive about it. As hard as it is to speak about, we all have to do it. Maybe it will help us so we live more significantly instead of just getting by in life.It was very sad reading this because its like we all have a weak spot and no matter who we are or what we do there will always be something to impact us.
