First Thoughts on the Illness & Dying Unit

When i hear Illness i think of sickness from disease, or old age. Adding "old age" may seem morbid, but everyone as they get older are getting ill, it's not like someone who's 80 can run better than they did when they were 20. Dying is when someone has absolutely no home of staying alive much longer, it's basically saying that someone is dead while they're alive. Many times most would say illness and dying are the same, because when you're ill you're dying. The problem with that mind set is that being ill can be having something simple as the cold, which can cause someone to die, but we use ill to negatively. From personal experience i so far haven't had a relative who's died or is ill, besides my great grand aunt who has arthritis and has been saying she's going to die for the past 10 years. Sometimes when one is ill they tend to care more about life, but they can choose to live their lives a few different ways, they either or cherish every moment they're around, or they dwell on how great their lives was than and feel completely miserable with the situation they're in.
