Beliefs of being able to die off easily, from the Front Page Sections, translated…
Sister Baaa, come on
If there are, only seven days of life left, how, will I live them?
Before I entered into nursing, I’d never actually, faced death seriously.
Back then, for me, death is in the news, in people’s words, on those white pages of the mystery novels.

Until I’d started working in the hospital, I’d finally understood, that death, is actually, standing, right before each and every one of us, the difference, is how far off or how close it is.
From the moment we were born, we are, slowly, dying.
And yet, because of Eastern cultures, death is a taboo, and, if we don’t need to bring it up, then we’d evaded discussion, as if, so long as nobody mentions it, then, we can somehow, escape from it.
But, nobody escapes death. People always say, “We need to live well”, but nobody ever stated, “We need to, die well”.
The Process of Getting Closer to Death, it Needs to be, with Ease Death, is painful, and, no matter how you play it, it won’t, work out well in the end. Yes, death, is the only end, so, what we can do is, allowing that passage toward death, to be as smooth as possible.

I’d heard my patients told of how their offspring still argued endlessly about the matter of inheritance before they died. I saw how the families, for the miniscule chances of survival rates, keep on intubating the patients. I’d tapped the elderly’s back gently, he’d told me, “It’s truly, a hard way to live on”, I’d, broken countless number of ribs inside an elderly woman’s ribcage, simply because her family didn’t want to, let her go.
If there are only, seven days left in life, how, can you, make sure, that your death will allow for, no regrets in the little time you have left.
Recalling One’s Own Life, Saying Goodbye to Those Who are Important to You
In these seven day, I would get up at seven sharp (I will never stall in bed, because I’m running out of time), and, give away all my things, and, eat everything that I enjoyed eating (there’s no need to go on a diet anymore!), before I go to bed each night, I’d, reviewed my life over, with my spouse.
Most importantly, to say goodbye, to everybody who’s important in my life. Not being able to say goodbye to those who are important to me, will be, my deepest regret.
When we thought we would see each other again, then, we’d not, cherished every time we are together when we sat across from each other, our attention is focused on the cell phone games, and we’d needed to, reschedule, because of overtime from work, and, because we were, tired, we’d ended out hard-to-come by gatherings, all of these, are due to our beliefs of how there will be, a next time we see each other.

And when we know that our lives are ending, we won’t have another chance, maybe, we will start, cherishing each and every minute we have together.
I shall use, my final seven days of my life, and I will, say my heartfelt farewell, to all I have loved, so death will, leave, NO regrets.
So, this, would be the importance of utilizing the current moment in your lives, because you don’t know if you will have another tomorrow, and, life is filled with the uncertainties, and if you keep on putting things off, then, you will totally, run out of time toward the end!
