Death cannot be avoided, it is just waiting to come at you when you least expect or at your weakest moment. When dealing with a death of a loved one, we most think of it as a horrible thing and want it to stop, but we all know it must happen one way or another. But you should consider yourself lucky, because "Everybody dies but not everybody lives.", quote Drake from "Moment for Life"
As people age now a days, it becomes harder for them to learn new things and adapt to change. They also, or at least my grandparents, become very bull headed and do not like to be told that they are wrong. But aging hasn't stopped my grandma from just retiring. Shes the type of grandma who likes to go out and do something, other than stay home, sit around, and do nothing. but as she has gotten older, my her son (my dad) and my Aunt try to convince her to not drive, because she has Alzheimer's disease.
In the story "The Law of Life", Koskoosh, a village elder is left behind during a camp move because he is too old to be any use to them and must be left behind for the better of the family. Unlike most older people, he had an understanding that it must happen if he wants his family to continue. So when the wolves come, he remembers a pack of wolves hunting a moose. The moose put up a fight, but it ultimately knew that it was the end. So Koskoosh willingly gave up, and let death com to him
