HW#19-Family Perspectives on Illness & Dying

When i spoke to my mom she was talking about how it is important for us to live a healthy lifestyle so we can live good lives. She talked about how she saw her father die from a heart attack, i knew talking about that she was knd of dwelling on the past and kid of sad talking about it. Going back to the anti-body discussion. When my grandfather was still alive he didn't really watch what he ate because my grandmother always cooked for him since he was blind therefore he didn't pay much attention to his body which might of led to his death. He also had diabetes so maybe that was another thing that added to it.

She also said how her mom has caridiovulsar disease and that it worries her that so many people in our family don't take the right steps to live as possible as we can. Similar to my grandfather my grandmother was the same way with her food choices it wasn't till after surgery that she started to care more about her body and she should treat it in order to stay in a good stable condition. It always after the fact that everybody wants to be healthy and what-not because their lives are on the line which is kind of sad.

She was saying that we need to eat and live healthy as best as we can. She believes death is a part of life and we must all die but its up to us to give us all the time to live as we want to as long as we take the right precautions. I agree that as long as we approach life in a positive matter and the do the right things then your life will be good and you won't have to worry about the illness and dying unless it happens to be cancer or some strange disease you couldn't prevent.

I asked my mom how does she feel about antibotics and drugs in order to help people with their illness and prevention from things. She told me that if it has to do with prolonging their life then she is all for it somehow the topic came about the governemtn and she saif The government is going to control the drugs just like they control everything else which i find to be true. Everything revolves around the government.
