Death and Dying
Death and dying are a part of life. Death comes in many forms - the death of a relationship, the death of a job, the death of innocence, the death of a loved one. Each death is an opportunity to learn how to face personal loss gracefully. It can teach you how to live after loss. It prepares you for a dignified conclusion to your own life story. Most importantly, it encourages you to put more life in each day.
Here is some film wisdom about the topic of death.
“To each person, their own way of death – with dignity.”
“When people and animals die, they stay with us in our minds.”
“Players never die – they just try their luck at another table.”
“Funerals are important rituals. They don’t just recognize that a life has ended; they recognize that a life was lived.”
“Nothing ever truly dies. The universe wastes nothing, everything is simply transformed.”
“We are meant to lose the people we love. How else would we know how important they are to us?”
“You can be mad as a mad dog at the way things went. You can swear and curse the fates. But when it comes to the end, you have to let go.”
“You know, the ancient Egyptians had a beautiful belief about death. When their souls got to the entrance to heaven, the guards asked two questions. Their answers determined whether they were able to enter or not. ‘Have you found joy in your life?’ 'Has your life brought joy to others?’”
“The end comes, no matter what. The only thing that matters is, how do you want to go out, on your feet or on your knees?”
“People soften by the forced reflection that comes with loss.”
