That would be the natural thing for anyone to think that a church is the safest place to be, since it supposed under God's protection. To some people's point of view, it is a sacrilege to destroy a church. I can relate to the mother's pain, because I to was going to be a mother last year sometime, until my doctor told me that my baby was dead before it got the chance to be born. I was so looking forward in having the baby, I followed all my doctor's instructions, but my baby ended up dead. I could not understand why my baby would die in four months into the pregnancy, since I was a healthy person and did not have any bad habits like
First I’d like to say that my grandmother is very near death, and has shocked her doctor that she isn’t in hospice care yet. My grandmother is a very religious Baptist woman, and would never consent to physician assisted death. Although I think she is ready when her time is here, she has told us that there has been a few times where she thought she was dying and she just doesn’t. On the other hand, when my grandfather was terminally ill with esophageal cancer he begged to be “put out of his misery” repeatedly. He suffered tremendously for about six months before cancer took him from us.
January 23, 2012 Elizabeth Cuellar People around the globe take their particular world for granted. My name is Elizabeth Cuellar, I come from Orange Walk town. Being exposed to different groups of people and sorroundings always brings changes into our lives. It changes our ways of thinking and seeing life. Moving to San Pedro Town, was a big step, I knew my life was going to change.
While in my office Sally explained, she cannot accept the fact that a child dies before a parent and that it is not the normal way of life. This in my opinion is denial, because according to Kubler- Ross’s Five Stages of Death and Dying when someone is in denial life makes no sense and the world is meaningless and overwhelming. Mike stated that he is going crazy because all he hears from Sally is her telling God to take her and bring her son back instead. This is the third item on the list which is bargaining. When someone is bargaining, the person will make secret pacts with God without regard to being religious.
My mother thought that I was not going to make it. I was born with an abnormally large skull, Yellow Jaundice and had a hernia as well; the doctors back then diagnosed me with water on the brain, and told my mother that I will not have a normal childhood. They were right about the childhood, while I was growing up, during my elementary years, I felt like an outcast, a reject and just a worthless individual. I had a very hard time adjusting in school. I started school by failing first grade.
It’s not like my family is filled with a whole bunch of illiterate people. Trust me my family is filled with very smart people. The sad part is they weren’t given the chances to complete high school. For example my mother had an untimely pregnancy which limited her ability to attend school regularly which eventually led to her having to drop out. These stories continue throughout my family and the list goes on.
Some people believe in evolution and there is no god, others praise more than one god, and then there is Eden who was not sure if god was real but later encountered after life and brought him into a better way of life. You can call me crazy but I do believe in after life and how god sends us messages through our love ones. Just this past summer my boyfriend committed suicide. I was left with millions of questions of why and how he could do this to his friends and family. I have had a hard year trying to cope with the situation and trying to tell myself that he is with God and other angles up in heaven.
For me, I thought it was hard trying to be a faithful Christian in America but for Sumbul Ali-Karamali, being an American Muslim was much more difficult. I really thought Sumbul Ali-Karamali was honest and she explained what being Muslim means. At the beginning of the first chapter, Ali-Karamali explained how her life “never marched in rhythm” with her non-Muslim friends. I can relate to her because throughout middle school and high school, sometimes I had a difficult time balancing my Christian practices with my teenage life. Ali-Karamali couldn't date, attend parties or dances.
I did begin loosing weight, which generated in me the greatest appeasement, but I would always recoup that weight, and because of that my mother never managed to perceive anything. I was consumed with the visualization of being tiny and being just like other young girls my age. I was in love with the concept of being “perfect.” At this point in my life, I thought my weight was the most insoluble thing I would have to tackle, but little did I know how early I had spoken. In fourth grade, I noticed drastic alterations in my personal life. My father became more and more withdrawn from my mother, sister, brother, and I. I was naïve and ingenuous at the time, and didn’t
Every time I want a moment of peace or relaxation, I always listen to religious music because it is like forgetting everything for a moment. According to Janaro and Altshuler( the art of being human July 4, 2011) “ rhythm in music as in poetry, it is an alteration between stress and unstress. That is why, when I was about 12 years old, I tried to get into the chorus of the church that I used to go, but I was a really bad singer and I could not make it. However, when I came to the United States, I tried again and at this time I made it. I even participated in evens to raised money for the church.
