HW 19

When I asked my mother about sickness and death; she said that it happens to everyone and there isn't a way to avoid it. Her views on death were more calm then I expected, she didn't sigh or start dwelling on the recent death of her mother. She seems to just accept the fact that one day were all going to die. She is a Jehovah's Witness so she believes that we go to "Sleep" when we die and then after the resurrection the chosen few will rise from the dead and live life on earth. I then asked does she every doubt that that's the truth and she said she has faith in her religion. The conversation then drifted away and eventually I went back into my room, when trying to hold a conversation death and illness is a hard conversation to continue to talk about; eventually everyone starts dwelling on negative things.
