I would like you to write aboutyour experiences with death and dying.  Think about four subgroups ofpossible deaths with which you may have experience. 1) Persons in your family.2) Persons in your non-family primary groups (past and or present) 3) Publicfigures or people you did not know personally but whose death or dying affectedyou. 4) Pets.

Start with your family andwrite down a brief narrative about each of these individuals that:

    Describes your relationship with them

     Theircause of death

     Whatkind of funeral they had

     Anyimpact the death seems to have on others

     Anyparticularly memorable reactions you had or still have

     As forpets, say whatever you want to about their dying and deaths.
