Island of a Thousand Mirrors One of the key transitions that drove Saraswathi’s transformation was the loss of her family at the age of sixteen. Amma, her mother, explains, “You have to go from here, my daughter. We can’t keep you with us anymore. You must go to the training camp. Learn to fight. Become a hero” (159).

They must clean up the blood, body fluids or other reminders that their loved one has passed. For many people, this task is too painful to consider.

Each one has its own symbolism for example the quilts meant family and past generations that were still remembered. The roughness and the finger prints left in the dasher meant being able to touch the loved ones that once used that same object. All this objects can…

Hasn't everyone in society lied to a loved one just for the sake of protecting them? In the four articles that I read they all gave their own opinions of lying which was either favoring lying or completely loathe at the thought of lying.

Lying would sometimes be necessary when trying to convince someone or to try to stop them from making bad decisions.…

Fear that is avoided, ignored, until it is too late. However, once reality sets in, so do the emotions of misery and despair. Losing loved ones is a part of every individual's life at one time or another. In many cases that is considered their “deepest sorrow” and takes months or even years to recover. In reality, those sorrows are never…

The death of a loved one is never an easy thing to take in. As you go through the stages of mourning, it seems to get easier to accept it. I have never gone through the stages of mourning.

I thought I would no longer shed any tears for death like I had before. That was until I lost my abuelita yesterday morning. I woke up like every other day.…
