Dealing with Suffering and Loss

Suffering and loss is a regular n one(a) in the human intent cycle, it is vital to reveal how to stagger with it so that it doesnt need the rest of our lives negatively. In Scott Russell Sanderss Ten Reasons why Well Al flairs Need a Good Story he explains that unmatched of the reasons is to help us deal and become aware of ache, loss, and expiration. During our youth we dowrys dont consider the end of the life cycle.How incessantly, in life we will al elans encounter grieve from a shaft stars death. The first time we experience some sort of grieving it whitethorn be very hard to handle and may progress to depression. Stories help us prepare for mummyents of suffering, loss, and death with fictional experiences which show us how to deal with these unfortunate blushts. In the three unforesightful stories we read at least(prenominal) one character in each story is constrained to deal with suffering, loss, or death.In the short story Bluffing by Gail Helgason, Liam ha s an unfortunate diagonal and experiences physical torment as well as the emotional trouble of his deteriorating relationship with Gabriella. In both Words by Isabel Allende, Belisa Crepusculario is devastated by the death of her entire family due to their impoverished lifestyle and the love between her and the Colonel yards them to recede each other. In The Indisput qualified Weight of the Ocean by Darryl Berger, Edmund deals with non being able to await his fuck off and deals with the suffering of moving to a suburban area.First of all, breaking up with your partner erect ca design gravid depression to some people and it makes us feel handle weve muddled someone important in our lives, also enduring a plumping bill of physical inconvenience causes us to more careful to repress feeling anything like that again. In Bluffing we do not get to encounter how Gabriella and Liams relationship continues, however, the cause leaves us to infer that the relationship is ove rture to an end. We are also left to infer how they both feel after(prenominal)wards they breakup.Gabriella feels that Liam is not committed to the relationship after he broke the intelligence activity to her that he would be leaving to go on a hiking eluding for three months. When Gabriella stormed off into the woods it becomes clear that she is ending the relationship, however, the accident that happened to Liam respectable after she stormed off made it hard for her to leave him because of his condition, it would make her come out superficial because Liam would think she is breaking up with him because he looks worse She knows in her bones that she can manage this way, for the rest of the rest of the afternoon, at least (Helgason 7).Another physical exertion of suffering and loss in Bluffing is when Liam is unfortunately attacked by a grizzly and receives many injuries to his body and also to his face. Liam has to suffer with this immense amount of physical pain. Liams conf idence may also be deject due to his puffed up skin, mottled, with ridges of shiny, rubbery scar tissue(Helgason 7) which may cause depression because he doesnt want anyone to see him the way his is now, looking worse than before. We cannot allow breaking up with our partner or physical pain to affect us negatively for too retentive because these are both natural incidents of human life.Second of all, dealing with the death of a loved one is often the most amount of emotional pain someone can experience in a lifetime, also not knowing if you will ever see a loved one can also cause depression. In the short story Two Words Belisa Crepusculario lives an impoverished lifestyle where her family is so poor they did not even have names to give their childrenand she grew up in an inhospitable belt down (Allende 1) making it hard for the Crepusculario family to survive.Tragically, Belisa had to bury four younger brothers and sisters. This is most probable the most horrifying incident Be lisa will experience in her life time and what made it worse is that they were all very young. Surely, Belisa did a lot of grieving just she overcame her emotional pain and set out on a journey for a positive life. She became widely popular and respect across the country even catching the attention of the Colonel for her incredible expertness with words. She enjoys her profession and the new life she has begun.This story of Belisas misfortune is a great lesson of human life because we cannot allow the grieving of a loved ones death to control the rest of our lives, the same way Belisa beats the odds and begins a positive life There were some occupations she was qualified for. It seemed that selling words would be an honourable alternative (Allende 3). The conterminous example of suffering and loss in Two Words is when Belisa tells the colonel the mystery words and they control his mind at an important point in his career Those 2 words that were buried like dickens daggers in his gut (Allende 7).This shows loss because the Colonel is unable to think straight because of his love for Belisa after she tells him the two words. He doesnt know if he will ever see her again and he is constantly worried about that. This shows us how not being able to see someone you love can affect you negatively. In two words Belisas grieving of her siblings and the love between Belisa and the Colonel are two examples that show us how to deal with suffering and loss.Not being able to see a family extremity or associate is similar to losing someone, however, we still have hope that we will one solar solar day meet them again, and being forced to change your lifestyle can cause suffering. In The Indisputable Weight of the Ocean a little military personnel by the name of Edmund Kelley has a gravel who is a mystery to him. The author explains, For as long as he could remember, it had just been the two of them (Berger 1). Since Edmund is an incredibly intelligent ten year ol d he has surely wondered if his father is actually just away for work for so many years.His father being away for so long makes Edmund feel as though he has lost him, however, he still has hope that one day his father will return, therefore he does not grieve like he would if he found out that his father is dead. The next example of suffering in the short story is not between two or more humans, it is between Edmund and his changing life. To Edmunds disappointment he and his mom have to leave their isolated lives on the acreage and move to a more populated suburban area.Since Edmund is anti-social towards children his own age it is hard for him to be around them all the time Edmund did not have much use for other children. The unless time he saw any was when they went into town for groceries, and what he saw he did not like (Berger 1). Edmund notices that his mother is only searching for a better life for the both of them Edmund was not without love for his mom. And because he di d not want to be an extra burden on her, he act to cope with his new situation (Berger 2). He tried his hardest to never complain about the suffering he is going through.In these two examples from this short story we learn how to deal with not being able to see a loved one and not knowing when or if you will see them again, and we learn how to cope with new situations that often reach in ones life. Overall, some of the characters in the three short stories all have to face suffering and/or loss in a variety of ways. All the different situations teach us how to deal with these real life experiences so that suffering and loss doesnt affect the rest of our lives negatively. We learn how to deal with a deteriorating relationship and physical pain from accidents.We also learn how to deal with the emotional pain of a deceased person loved one and not knowing if you will ever see someone you fell in love with. The last two situations we learn how to deal with are, not being able to see a family member for a long time and the suffering of changing your lifestyle or where you live. Instead of learning from our own mistakes like we are always told to do when were growing up, stories allow us to never make those mistakes ourselves, but learn from the mistakes that the characters have made.
