The Inevitable Truth About Death

By Kenneth Braddy


As we live, we nourish death. Death is the apparent end that every person is destined to face. According to the world-famous Japanese writer, Haruki Murakami, death is not the opposite of life but innate part of it. It is a truth that we can not change. Consequently when we undergo a death of relative, friend, family member, colleague or a loved-one it creates a tender impact in our lives. The kind of sorrow and pain that's too deep, neither sincerity nor kindness can cure. Nonetheless, we do not have an alternative but to bear the process and learn something from it. Grieving is a course that lets us to mull over and eventually be at peace enough to go on.

Elisabeth Kubler-Ross, a Swiss American psychiatric specialist who established several near death studies, there's what we call "The Five Stages of Grief", in her theory she explained that not everyone can actually experience all phases, nor in particular order but it is the normal response to loss, illness or death.

The acronym of the 5 stages of bereavement is DABDA. Letter D stands for denial. At this point, denial is the temporary defence mechanism which is either conscious or unconscious. Letter A is for anger. At this point, the person experiences a strong feeling of rage and it's often typical to blame oneself to release pressure from the incident. Letter B is for bargaining. At this point, the person is experiencing strong feelings of hope that it's possible to bargain or postpone with the recent loss, sickness or death. Letter D is for depression. At this point, the person experiences sadness, doubts and fear. The last letter A stands for acceptance. At this point, the person increasingly accepts the passing and begins to move on.

As human beings, we have high regards our loved-ones, in correlation to that, we perform a funeral home Singapore ceremony to remember the life of the individual who died. Funeral home in Singapore provides a complete coverage and concern concerning the customs, beliefs, practices and religion of the departed. As a matter of fact, funeral home Singapore like Mount Vernon Singapore regards the religion of dead persons by offering customs and belief sensitive ceremonies like Buddhist, Taoist, Christian or Catholic funeral rites services.

Without a shadow of doubt, losing a loved one can be emotionally, physically, mentally and spiritually demanding. So preparing for the funeral is fairly overwhelming. Now, funeral planners have been geared up to supply a modest, peaceful and beautiful funeral ritual. This includes doctor's certification of death, carrying of the departed's remains to the funeral home, sale and servicing of casket (for cremation or burial), clothes for the deceased also known as Shou Yee, funeral vehicle, ceremonial practices and ceremonies, floral decoration, food services and photography remembrance.
