Brian's Story ABSTRACT DEATH ACCEPTANCE AND INTIMATE RELATIONSHIPS by Hideaki Imai Although researchers have investigated death attitudes since the 1960s, only a few have examined death acceptance as a research topic. Furthermore, most of these studies focused on quantitative assessments without finding consistent results. In this study, I conducted a qualitative investigation on the role of intimate relationships in accepting death. I interviewed four older adult participants about their death attitudes and intimate relationships in semi-structured interviews. From the results, I found that the male participants needed to deepen their relationships before accepting death, whereas the female participants already had intimate relationships and were able to accept death immediately as they became aware of their mortality.

By “death acceptance,” I mean the way in which the participant acknowledges his or her process of dying without being threatened by it. For defining intimate relationships, I use the concept of ROLE relationships within the theoretical framework of Experiential Personal Construct Psychology – relationships in which one person understands the ways in which the other construes the world (Leitner, 1985; Leitner & Faidley, 1995). In the initial conception of this project, I planned to work with terminally ill patients in order to start a conversation about death among the living. However, I have come to find out that I do not need to ask those who are actively dying to investigate death; rather, I can ask older adults who are aware and accepting of death to facilitate a discourse on accepting death and our intimate relationships. Though I initially sought to recruit participants from a hospice setting, I eventually worked with those who are either in a nursing home, or older adult community members. Before discussing the details of the study, I first will introduce my motivation behind pursuing this project. After introducing my personal motivation, I will discuss how my research question can be important for all of us who are living. Once I establish the personal and public importance, I will provide a review on the past psychological literature that investigated death acceptance. Following the literature review, I will discuss the theoretical framework in which this project operates. Specifically, I will present the way the concept of ROLE relationships fits with the concept of death-acceptance. After the theoretical discussion, I will explain how I executed this project in the Method section, introduce what I found in the Results section, and talk about implications in the Discussion sections. My Story As I planned to ask my participants to share their stories for this project, it is only fair that I disclose my story. Moreover, given that this is a qualitative study wherein the researcher’s interpretation of the data is explicit, I will reveal some aspects of my background that are relevant to this project. Hence, I will introduce my personal experiences with death and intimate relationships. My fascination with death started when I learned about the philosophy of death in a class on existentialism. Following my newfound academic passion, I decided to write my senior project on people’s attitudes towards death. The project was a psychological study on whether people’s death attitudes affect their psychological well being. Illustrating my newfound interest, I even dressed up as the grim reaper for the Halloween of 2008. Two weeks after Halloween, I received an email from my father in which he informed me that my grandfather had terminal cancer. During winter break, I flew to Japan to see my grandfather on his deathbed. As I saw him so thin and immobile, for the first time I realized that he was actually dying. As it was my last chance, I asked him questions about the entirety of his life – his childhood, his family, and his reasons for pursuing his profession – neurosurgery. Our last meetings were also opportunities in which I could tell him about my future aspirations – how I wished to be a therapist, a professor, and a psychologist. Essentially, we both sought professions in which we “help” people. Hence, it was meaningful that my grandfather could talk to me about the nature of “helping” from his experiences. Interestingly, it was the first time I felt as though I got to know my grandfather; I learned then the irony of realizing how much another individual means to me only when the relationship comes close to an end. As my winter break approached its end, I had to finish my hospital visits. I remember being nervous about saying goodbye to him. I was nervous, because I did not know what it was going to be like to see a person, a family member, for literally the very last time in my life. What strongly resonates is the image of him staring back at me, as I looked into his eyes – it gave me a convincing impression that he too knew it was going to be his last time seeing me in his life. 3 After returning to the United States, I received an international call from Japan on my birthday, February 16th, right in the middle of my data collection for my undergraduate death project. I heard my father on the other end, weeping for the first time since my childhood. With audible effort, he told me that my grandfather had just passed away. After I hung up the phone, I remained composed as I was in front of students who were filling out my questionnaires. After the data collection, I had dinner with my friends and we celebrated my birthday. After dinner, I finally started crying, and I could not get my tears to stop. As my birthday is also my grandfather’s death anniversary, I consider the topic of death profoundly personal, and one that I feel destined to explore. What was it like to recount his career, relationships, and life experiences to his grandson who was so interested in knowing everything about him, so desperate to keep the connection that he had in the very last minute? Such questions may not find answers, but they inspire a curiosity that I find worth pursuing. In retrospect, I remember my grandfather’s refusing the doctor’s offers for various medications and procedures to prolong his life. It seemed like he was very ready for his death. Hence, frankly, this project is a personal one. Without making my personal motives explicit, I presented my thesis idea to explore death acceptance and intimate relationship at a group meeting. When I asked for feedback for this project, I received a question: “Why should anyone care about this project?” I knew that the person who asked the question did not mean to be caustic, but was just asking to facilitate a discussion. However, never having asked the question in such a way, I found myself in a panic, unable to respond in a coherent manner. Perhaps this study was so personal that I never gave a thought about how it could be valuable to other people. Upon further consideration, however, I realize that the subject matter of accepting death is important for all of us. Religious debate about afterlife aside, death is a universal phenomenon. Every one of us dies. As Heidegger (1962) states, the fact that our life will come to an end raises the question of how we should live our lives in a fulfilling manner. However, as Becker (1972) states, most of us are hesitant to bring up the topic of death. When death is an often-avoided topic, we might be overlooking lessons about life that we can learn only through confronting death. Hence, listening to those who are already aware and accepting of their mortality will start a conversation about death. Past Theorists and Researchers Many theorists and researchers on the subject of death assert the profound influence of confronting death for the way one lives life (e.g., Heidegger, 1962). Such a notion was the basis for Heidegger's argument for authenticity. When death is seen as avoidable, we would live as though there is unlimited time to partake in whatever activity that we like. However, any activity we wish to participate in would eventually lose its value, if there were an infinite number of times we can participate in it.

    HISTORY OF THE COMMITTEE The House Special Investigative Committee on Oversight (the Committee) was formed by Speaker Todd Richardson on February 27, 2018, and consists of seven members: Chairman Jay Barnes, Vice-chairman Don Phillips, Ranking Member Gina Mitten, Rep. Jeanie Lauer, Rep. Kevin Austin, Rep. Shawn Rhoads, and Rep. Tommie Pierson Jr. House Resolution 5565, adopted by a unanimous vote of the House of Representatives on March 1, 2018, established procedures for the Committee. In particular, HR 5565 empowered and required the Committee to “investigate allegations against Governor Eric R. Greitens” and “report back to the House of Representatives within forty days of such committee being appointed[.]” It further permitted the Committee to close all or a portion of hearings to hear testimony or review evidence, and to redact testimony transcripts and other evidence to protect witness identities or privacy. Subpoenas were issued to compel the appearance of witnesses and the production of documents. Every witness before the Committee testified under oath. • On February 22, 2018, Speaker Todd Richardson indicated he would form a committee to investigate allegations against Governor Greitens (Greitens). In response, counsel for Greitens stated that they would “welcome reviewing this issue with the independent, bipartisan committee of the Missouri House of Representatives.” Counsel promised to “work with the committee,” after faulting the Circuit Attorney for the City of St. Louis for refusing to meet with Greitens.1 • On February 27, 2018, the Committee was formed by Speaker Todd Richardson. • On February 28, 2018, Chairman Barnes made contact with attorneys Ed Dowd, Counsel for Greitens; Scott Simpson, counsel for Witness 1; and Al Watkins, counsel for Witness 3.

  • Funeral Rites Across Different Cultures
    section nine critical incident FUNERAL RITES ACROSS DIFFERENT CULTURES Responses to death and the rituals and beliefs surrounding it tend to vary widely across the world. In all societies, however, the issue of death brings into focus certain fundamental cultural values. The various rituals and ceremonies that are performed are primarily concerned with the explanation, validation and integration of a peoples’ view of the world. In this section, the significance of various symbolic forms of behaviour and practices associated with death are examined before going on to describe the richness and variety of funeral rituals performed according to the tenets of some of the major religions of the world. THE SYMBOLS OF DEATH Social scientists have noted that of all the rites of passage, death is most strongly associated with symbols that express the core life values sacred to a society. Some of the uniformities underlying funeral practices and the symbolic representations of death and mourning in different cultures are examined below: THE SIGNIFICANCE OF COLOUR When viewed from a cross-cultural perspective, colour has been used almost universally to symbolise both the grief and trauma related to death as well as the notion of ‘eternal life’ and ‘vitality’. Black, with its traditional association with gloom and darkness, has been the customary colour of mourning for men and women in Britain since the fourteenth century. However, it is important to note that though there is widespread use of black to represent death, it is not the universal colour of mourning; neither has it always provided the funeral hue even in Western societies.

    ENDER'S GAME by Orson Scott Card Chapter 1 -- Third "I've watched through his eyes, I've listened through his ears, and tell you he's the one. Or at least as close as we're going to get." "That's what you said about the brother." "The brother tested out impossible. For other reasons. Nothing to do with his ability." "Same with the sister. And there are doubts about him. He's too malleable. Too willing to submerge himself in someone else's will." "Not if the other person is his enemy." "So what do we do? Surround him with enemies all the time?" "If we have to." "I thought you said you liked this kid." "If the buggers get him, they'll make me look like his favorite uncle." "All right. We're saving the world, after all. Take him." *** The monitor lady smiled very nicely and tousled his hair and said, "Andrew, I suppose by now you're just absolutely sick of having that horrid monitor. Well, I have good news for you. That monitor is going to come out today. We're going to just take it right out, and it won't hurt a bit." Ender nodded. It was a lie, of course, that it wouldn't hurt a bit. But since adults always said it when it was going to hurt, he could count on that statement as an accurate prediction of the future. Sometimes lies were more dependable than the truth.

  • What You Can Do for a Bereaved Friend
    What you can do for a bereaved friend. When death touches the family of someone we love, we often ask the question, “Is there anything I can do?” We mean it sincerely, but sometimes we simply don’t know what to do, and the person we want to help may be hesitant to ask for anything specific – or may simply not be able to identify the help they need. Remember, people often find it difficult to ask for help. It is vitally important to volunteer. Following are a number of suggestions. Choose only the tasks you know you can do or that are appropriate to your relationship. During the first few days or at funeral time… - Be a house sitter when the family is away from the home making funeral arrangements, attending the visitation or attending the funeral or memorial service. - If the death occurs out-of-town and your friend is leaving for the funeral, pick up their mail and newspaper, water plants and watch the house. - Arrange for the care of their pets. - Answer the telephone. Make a list of names, addresses and telephone numbers of people who call, stop at the house or offer to help. Take accurate messages and give brief, correct information. - Telephone relatives and friends, notify them of the death and the funeral arrangements. - Clean the house and/or yard in preparation for people coming for the funeral. - If needed, do the laundry. - Keep a written record of food brought to the house including names, addresses, telephone numbers, the type of food they brought and a description of the container.

  • Folklife Today March 2020: on the Road with Alan Lomax, a “By the People” Campaign from the Library of Congress
    Folklife Today March 2020: On the Road With Alan Lomax, a “By the People” Campaign from the Library of Congress Announcer (00:01): From the Library of Congress in Washington, D C W.H. Stepp plays fiddle (00:13): Stephen Winick (00:28): Welcome to the Folklife Today podcast. I'm Stephen Winick, the writer and editor in the American Folklife Center of the Library of Congress. And I'm here with John Fenn, the Head of Research and Programs at the Center. John Fenn: Hello. We are excited to tell you about an initiative in which the Library of Congress is crowdsourcing transcriptions of manuscript pages. Stephen Winick: That doesn't actually sound like it has much to do with folklife, but we promise you that it does. John Fenn: Right. And that's because some of the manuscripts we're talking about are the fieldnotes and other handwritten or typewritten papers of Alan Lomax. Stephen Winick: So let's begin by setting the stage a little. Alan Lomax spent almost 70 years as a folklorist and ethnographer collecting, archiving, and analyzing folk music. His career began in 1933 when his father, John Lomax, was asked to be the new head of the Archive of American Folk Song, which had been established here at the Library of Congress in 1928. And That's the archive that now belongs to the American Folklife Center, where John and I work. John Fenn (01:24): Yes. And in this role as head of the archive, John Lomax took charge of a large repository of manuscripts and cylinder recordings.
