a) What were some of your thoughts and feelings as we went through this exercise?
For the most part of the activity, I was overcome with fear. It is no secret that cancer is
one of the leading causes of death, and the discomfort brought on by therapy cannot be
discounted. I have a lot of unresolved questions about how people manage to lose sight of the
value of the little things and fail to find happiness and fulfillment in whatever we do when we
are asked to focus on quality living. Yes, because tomorrow is never guaranteed, one of the
most important lessons to learn is to prioritize living well. I was reminded of how deliberate
we should be to guarantee we get the best results from our efforts after realizing that the past
is irretrievable and that the present is not the time for regret.
b) What kinds of things did you hold onto the longest? Why?
Among my loved ones, I held my mother and partner the longest since I felt alone in
that bed when things were not going well for you and only your family would be by your side
as you lay dying. I'm reminded by this of the importance of taking good care of our loved
ones because we never know when we'll need them the most. I also clung to my pet and
favourite book for a very long time since they are items that will stick with you and
encourage you to think back on your best experiences, joyful times, and life events. Holding
on to these belongings, which are dear to my heart, brought me much happiness and
optimism. The two ambitions I held onto the longest were to tour the world and learn a new
sport because I believed they helped to replenish our spirit and mind and give us the energy to
keep going.
c) How did you feel when I took items away without your permission?
It was made clear to me by taking things away without my consent that nothing in this
life is ever truly permanent. I experienced the harsh truth of death and how we frequently lose
the things, people, and objectives we had long cherished. All of these things are lost when the
time comes to pass away, and there is nothing we can do about it other than to take pride in
and feel at ease with what we still have. The memories that come to mind at such times are
what we may treasure. seeing how we take certain things for granted and have a limited
appreciation for them.
d) In what ways was this exercise different than a real dying experience?
2
The practice was different from an actual death experience in that our ambitions,
loved ones, and possessions are all still there. Our vigor, athletic prowess, and fervor are all
still present, and we can still live life to the fullest. Additionally, a real death experience does
not involve losing loved ones, things, or objectives in the order of importance. We have to
choose what to lose first and what to hold on for the longest during this exercise, which in
fact isn't possible because true death experiences typically don't give the option of choosing
what to hold on, but you must be content with what is available to you because you have no
choice. The thought of actually dying seems to me more terrifying, sadder, and tearful than
this exercise made me feel.
