It's Okay to Die
By Umeokwonna Paschal
Death is a part of life. It's something that we all have to face, sooner or later. But talking about death can be difficult. It can make us feel uncomfortable, scared, or even angry. We may try to avoid thinking about it altogether. But avoiding death doesn't make it go away. In fact, it can make it even more difficult to deal with when it does happen.

That's why it's important to talk about death. To talk about our fears and our hopes. To talk about what we want to happen when we die. Talking about death can help us to come to terms with it. It can help us to find peace with it. And it can help us to live our lives more fully.
There is no one right way to grieve. Some people grieve for a long time, while others grieve for a shorter time. Some people grieve in a very public way, while others grieve in a very private way. There is no right or wrong way to grieve. The important thing is to find a way to grieve that works for you.
If you are grieving the loss of a loved one, there are many resources available to help you. You can talk to your doctor, a therapist, or a member of your clergy. You can also join a support group for grieving people. There are many different types of support groups available, so you can find one that meets your needs.
Grieving is a process that takes time. There is no quick fix. But there are things that you can do to help yourself heal. Talk about your feelings, write in a journal, or spend time in nature. Do things that make you happy. And don't be afraid to ask for help when you need it.
Death is a part of life. But it doesn't have to be the end. Through grief, we can find healing. Through healing, we can find hope. And through hope, we can find peace.
Personal Story
I was 10 years old when my father died. It was a sudden and unexpected death. I remember being in shock and disbelief. I couldn't believe that my father was gone. I didn't understand why he had to die. I was angry and confused. I didn't know what to do.
I remember feeling very alone. I didn't know anyone else who had lost a parent. I didn't know how to talk about my feelings. I just kept them bottled up inside.
As I got older, I started to realize that I wasn't alone. There were other people who had lost loved ones. I started to talk about my feelings more. I started to write in a journal. I started to spend time in nature.
Through grief, I found healing. Through healing, I found hope. And through hope, I found peace.
I know that death is a part of life. But I also know that it doesn't have to be the end. Through grief, we can find healing. Through healing, we can find hope. And through hope, we can find peace.
Research
There is a growing body of research that supports the benefits of talking about death. Studies have shown that talking about death can help us to come to terms with it, find peace with it, and live our lives more fully.
One study, published in the journal Psychological Science, found that people who talked about death were less likely to experience anxiety and depression. They were also more likely to report feeling a sense of meaning and purpose in life.
Another study, published in the journal PLoS One, found that people who talked about death were more likely to make end-of-life plans. They were also more likely to have a positive attitude towards death.
The research is clear: talking about death can have a positive impact on our lives. It can help us to come to terms with it, find peace with it, and live our lives more fully.
Insights
Here are some insights from the research and my own personal experience on how to cope with death:
- Talk about your feelings. Don't bottle them up inside. Talk to your doctor, a therapist, a member of your clergy, or a friend or family member. There are also many different types of support groups available for grieving people.
- Write in a journal. Writing can be a helpful way to process your feelings. It can also help you to make sense of what happened.
- Spend time in nature. Nature can be a calming and restorative force. It can help you to connect with your inner self and find peace.
- Do things that make you happy. Don't neglect your own needs during this difficult time. Do things that make you happy and bring you joy.
- Don't be afraid to ask for help. If you are struggling to cope with grief, don't be afraid to ask for help. There are many people who care about you and want to help you through this difficult time.
Death is a part of life. But it doesn't have to be the end. Through grief, we can find healing. Through healing, we can find hope. And through hope, we can find peace.
