Its pretty crazy how all different cultures view death. In our culture, theres some people who cry for months, there are others who go get tattoos of their name. People have differnt ways of viewing it. In "Tuesdays with Morrie", Morrie is dying and Mitch comes to see him every Tuesday. In the end, Mitch ends up making the best of the situation and accepting that he died. In American culture, people have a hard time accepting that their loved one has passed away and can be in denial too. I personally find ways to remember the deceased. My grandpa was the greatest man i've ever met and he always used hearts in everything. To remember him, i got a heart tattooed on my wrist. I know i will always have a peice of my grandpa on me permanently. Everyone has their own ways of remembering their dead loved ones, mine being tattoos. People need to live in the moment. "Life is a gift, thats wh they call it the present".
