Death is silent. Death is peaceful. That's how death is seen in movies. A white, beautiful light is seen by the person dying and for just a moment they don't feel any pain. Maybe that's true, but there is only one way to find out.
Death has hit close to home by taking the love of my life from me. I felt robbed for the longest time. It would have been alright if I were the one to have died, but life never seems to go your way. Fate has a mind of its own and it doesn't answer to anyone. I wasn't able to go see Augustus Water's grave after the funeral for the longest time, I couldn't stand the sight of it. Three weeks after the funeral, however, I forced myself to visit his grave thinking he was lonely out there in the cold, hard dirt. At first I stood, staring down at Augustus's headstone, not moving, not speaking, just standing. After a week of visiting his grave in silence I began to talk to him. I'd talk about his family and how they were doing, I'd talk about our friend Isaac, I'd even talked about my family a little, but most of all I'd tell him how much I missed him. I loved him. I still love him. Love doesn't die as easily as people do.
After about a month I started to think about death from the perspective of Holleywood and it felt like someone had plundged me in ice water. I went cold all over. I hoped he recieved that moment of painless peace, no one deserved it more than him, but the fact that I'd never know what the last few moments of his life were like for him made my heart studder.
Death is peaceful, but dying isn't always.
