“The Body” is such an excellent episode because it does not try and make death “Hollywood”. It has a very real take on it. Personally, I don’t have a whole lot of experience with death. In fact, up until two years ago I’d never had to deal with the death of a family member. I think that being older certainly makes it easier to cope with, though it can still be painful.
Death is a difficult thing to understand. I felt like I was supposed to be a mess of emotions, sad and distraught and what not. But I wasn’t. It’s not that I wasn’t close with my family members, I loved my grandmother to the max, but at the same time it was a slow, process. I was more upset when I went to visit her and saw what the cancer was doing to her than I was when it finally took her. I think it’s much more difficult to lose someone suddenly, with out warning.
