1. Your experience with the topics.
The years I been in Sof, in class death and illness wasn't one of our topics. Until this year, I haven't learned why in funerals you have to wear black? or where the idea of funerals came from.
2. The way you've been taught to see illness & dying.
Some of my family members died before I was born, so death of someone wasn't something I really experiance. Until I was about 11 years old, but the death wasn't as sad for me than my mom and other family members. I do remember crying for my grandmother because I known her for most of my life and for my step grandfather. So the fact I wont see them or hear from them effect me in the momment. I been to two awakes and I felt unconformable , I didn't know what to do or how to react, I don't like saying sorry for your lost or sorry period. To see other people cry makes me feel unconforcomable.
3. Social norms around illness & dying in our culture.
We have to wear black..
Most people say sorry for your lost
RIP Who ever is died. On facebook or myspace and any other network.
Tattoo of person face or name
4. Your family's approach to these aspects of life.
My mom never froced me to go to a furneral or awake
My family doesn't talk about the person that died as much unless we are remembering a momment. We have pictures and some family memebers vist the grave. If buried in the US. If a family member died in the Dominica Republic than you will vist their grave. I never did.
I am going to the Dominican Republic in 2012 ( The whole family) For the 7th years its been since mygrandmother death. So we are having a family get together.
5. Possibly unusual perspectives you have about being sick and/or dying.
I believe people get sick from either past generations or something that spread and lead too an illness or deaths. Also something went wrong during DNA and the process of genes
Weather change
A person eating habites
Not caring for self.
